Greetings! Today was an exciting day in first grade. To conclude our Apple Wek fun, we made applesauce! Before church, we added apples, water, sugar, and cinnamon to a crock pot, turned it on, and let it cook. Boy, did our room smell good today!
At Mass this morning, Fr. Brian talked to us about living like the saints did.
As we enjoyed the aroma of homemade applesauce, we did do learning. We wrapped up our week of learning in Language Arts. We used our oral vocabulary words in sentences and wrote sentences using our sight words. We also took our weekly assessment. Finally, we wrote the steps we did to make applesauce.
In Math class today, we worked on solving and creating subtraction problems. Using a given subtraction sentence, we practice drawing and telling a story for it. For example, if the problem was 7-3, the students said that there were 7 butterflies and 3 flew away. I did love how creative the students got with their drawings!
Science class today centered around apples. This morning, we talked about how when exposed to air, the flesh of the apple turns brown. We did an experiment to see which liquid would stop the apple from turning brown. We put slices into water, vinegar, and lemon juice. All day we kept watching. This afternoon we saw that lemon juice worked the best.
Even Art class was centered around apples. The students used their thumbprints to create apples in a basket. We need to add stems once the paint dries. I'll post pictures on Monday.
And, after waiting all day, it was finally time to try our homemade applesauce. The students enjoyed it and said it tasted better than what they buy in the store! I love their honesty!
Have a great weekend!
