Fall is here! We are celebrating the season of harvest, first with apples!
We started apple fun day with apple pie baking.
Each child pressed 1/2 of a biscuit super flat to make a bottom of our pies.
We used the small muscles in our hands to knead and spread the dough.
Next, we passed around the chopped apples and added them to our pies.
The boys and girls did such a wonderful job and have clearly mastered the skill of "take some and pass it". Not the easiest concept for our little learners who are still, rightfully so, really focused on "ME"!
Then we added brown sugar and cinnamon.
The children followed our step-by-step directions and used their very best listening ears.
Time for a little pat of butter!
...And finally, the top to our pies.
While they cooked, we learned the legend of Johnny Appleseed and why he was thought to have worn a pot on his head!
We went on a Johnny Appleseed parade. We wandered around the school, wearing our pots and pretending to spread our apple seeds. Look closely, did you spot Johnny in our group picture???
Finally, we were treated to a wonderful apple party by this sweet little snack helper!
Apple trees, apple chips, ice cream with apple sauce, apple fritters, and apple juice.
It was another one of those "Best Day Evers" at preschool!
