Cooking Apple Sauce

A big thank you to Miss Nadine for helping us to cook apple sauce! The children helped to clean and prepare the apples in order to cook them all day in the slow cooker!

They were fascinated by how the gears worked in the peeler and how they could easily take the skin off in just a few turns of the handle!

We used kid friendly choppers so the children could help cut the apples into tiny pieces. This was great experience using a cooking tool as the children followed the directions in the recipe.




The apple sauce cooked all day (and even some of the night) and the children had an opportunity to taste it...




...and then vote as to whether or not they liked the apple sauce.






More children liked the apple sauce than didn't, and the children were able to analyze our chart and compare the numbers in each column.

Cooking Squash

We were so lucky to have a special parent volunteer with us today! Mrs. Montcalm spent time with the children in our kitchen cooking two kinds of squash. The children were very excited to be making something to eat! They first explored the differences in the outsides of the squash...

...and then scooped out the seeds.


The squash guts were so much fun to squish!




We used child friendly choppers to help remove the peel of the butternut squash...


 ...and also to chop it into little pieces.





We also chopped some apple to add to give it a sweet flavour.


When the spaghetti squash was cooked the children each had a chance to help scoop it out.






We were so proud of the children! Many tried the different kinds and some even asked for a second helping!





We love having parents and other family members in our classroom! If you have a special talent that you are willing to share with us, please consider spending time volunteering in our room!

Baking Cupcakes

Mrs. L. did more holiday baking with the children today. We baked and decorated cupcakes to celebrate our last day together before the winter break. 








Thank you to all families who have donated money and ingredients to support our baking program! We couldn't do it without your support!
