Wonderful Learning in Kindergarten

Our wonderful parent group provided apples for the children in both classes to eat and enjoy on Monday, October 7th. There were many apples left over, so Thursday, October 10th in the morning I brought in my slow cooker and decided I would make applesauce and the children could enjoy this during snack.

After morning announcements I asked the children if they noticed a different type of smell in the classroom and to try to describe the smell.

A few of the children described it as good, a food, delicious. Then a few others stated: "it smells like raisin toast", "cinnamon", or "apple pie".

One of the girls suggested "we should track the smell to find out where it is coming from". One of the boys suggested, "we should check all the snack bags to find out which one has that smell".

Fabulous problem solving suggestions from the kindergarten students.

There were only a few students who took the challenge to taste the homemade applesauce.
