Red Apples, Green Apples, and Applesauce

We have been having a great time learning about apples and getting all prepared for our upcoming field trip to Skytop Apple Orchard this Thursday! 
 We taste-tested red and green apples and then graphed which was our favorite to eat.
 I love how engaged they all were during this lesson.  They were really excited to see which color apple they thought tasted best!
 And the winner for favorite color apple to eat is...RED!
After having so much fun with apples throughout the week, we topped it all off with our Fun Friday Activity of making homemade Apple Sauce!  We wrote down the ingredients and steps of how to make applesauce and then taste tested it!  My little apple lovers had the best time doing this and really loved how the homemade applesauce tasted!
 The before...
 The writing portion of this lesson..."How to Make Applesauce"
and the after, our finished product...Applesauce!  
...and then the tasting part of the day! 
  We waited all day to be able to taste our applesauce while it was cooking, so the build-up was huge!  The result was that they all loved our Applesauce!  
These are the faces of some happy applesauce tasters and I am very excited to take them to the Apple Orchard this Thursday!  I hope everyone has had a fun and restful weekend and I can't wait to see everyone bright and early tomorrow morning!
