Thank you so much for sending in apples.  The children had so much fun using them in different ways!  It was a great learning experience for the children.

 

Below is the recipe we used:

Directions:

1. Peel, core, and cut the apples.

2. Place cut apples into a slow-cooking pot.

3. Add water to the apples.

4. Cover and cook on high for about 3 hours, until the apples are very soft. 

5. Add sugar (less can be used if preferred) and cook for another 30 minutes.

 

6.  Mash the apples, if needed, with a potato masher.

7. Sprinkle with cinnamon.

8. Enjoy!

Urbana Volunteer Fire Dept.

This week is Fire Safety/Fire Prevention week.  We had visitors from the Urbana Volunteer Fire Dept. visit us today.  We had so much fun!  The children were able to learn about fire safety, fire trucks, and ambulances.  We also were able to peek in the ambulance and go inside the fire truck.  Some materials will be going home this week concerning Fire Safety week.  Please review these materials and practice them with your child.
