11:15-12:00 wash hands/lunch/TASTE APPLE SAUCE!
We got off to a bit of a late start, but things really took off as we had such a busy day planned! As we had opening circle time Anne was busy peeling/cutting up apples. When the children arrived in the kitchen they washed some apples by using a sponge & tooth brush. They sure did a great job! Lorien found a “grub” on top of one of her apples! Some found it cute, I found it repulsive!
After they children were done cleaning some apples, they came over to the kitchen scale & weight out 3lbs of apples. They weighed a little bit over, so Lorien & Darius had no problem eating the extras to make weight! In fact, I couldn’t get Darius to stop eating them!
Making the apple sauce was a success, and we were eager to taste it- boy was it good- not good, GREAT!
Making the caterpillars during their free play time was time consuming, but the children were able to use some great skills while making them- they used scissors, painted, and threaded yarn through the holes, all with the assistance of Sister Stevens (THANK YOU!).
We had a good day.
