Apples, Apples, and more Apples!





A  couple of weeks ago, Presley's class did a unit all on apples. They got to taste green, red, and yellow apples and graph the results of which one they liked the best (Presley said she like the red the best). The next day, they made homemade applesauce in class.  Presley was so excited about it that I thought it would be fun to do our own apple tasting at home.  While Pres was at school, Becks and I went to the store and got as many apple products as we could find to taste!


 I've started doing the "Letter of the week" with Beckett.  We were on C this particular week, but I figured, to go along with our theme, we would go back and review A. 
 A is for Apples!!!
 



 
 I put all of our tastings on a plate for both kids to try.

 Apple Jelly
 
 Apple yogurt
 
 Dried apple

 ...not a fan!

 Fresh apple slice

 Apple sauce

 Apple juice
 
After our tasting, we had breakfast for dinner and made...you guessed it, apple pancakes!

 Pres and Becks both LOVE when we have breakfast for dinner.  It's the only time they will eat everything on their plates.

After dinner, we had a piece of apple pie for dessert!

 
   

 

  
 
 After 2 bites of pie, Beckett decided he just wanted to eat apple sauce instead.

Here are the results of Presley's apple tasting in order from most to least liked:

Apple Jelly
Apple Juice
Apple Pancakes
Fresh Apple
Apple Yogurt
Apple Pie
Apple Sauce
Dried Apples
