Applesauce!

Thank you for sending the apples in this week. This was a completely student-run project. I was impressed how the students came up with the idea, wrote the letter, and brought the apples in based on the student message sent home. With a little help in class today, students took turns peeling and chopping apples and adding a few key ingredients. Thanks to our pioneers in this project, Camila, Kyle and Yagmur, for serving us the applesauce. We have tied this experience into our study of poetry. Students observed and thought like poets today during the whole applesauce-making process...first noticing and describing the look and feel of the whole apples, and then the taste and texture of the finished applesauce. Stay tuned for apple-inspired poetry.
