Cooking in the classroom

What fun we had exploring apples and making our very own applesauce! Cooking in a kindergarten classroom is not just about enjoying the final product- we also learn a lot along the way. The students each got to cut their own apple. It was harder than it looked! We added cinnamon and sugar and had to wait patiently for it to cook all day! It sure did make our classroom smell delicious. Finally, it was ready. I was so proud to see everyone try a bite. Trying new foods can be a bit daunting for some children but there was no pressure to taste it. Some liked the applesauce and said me said it didn’t taste like the applesauce they were used to. That’s okay! Everyone has different opinions. They can’t wait to see what we make next month.
