Apple Taste Test

We had a great day today in first grade.  Happy Birthday, LaShane!  Thank you for the yummy cupcakes!  

Today we taste tested 5 different kinds of apples.  Thank you to Zachary's mom and Mariana's mom who helped me out a lot by donating apples for our taste test!    The kids had a great time trying the different kinds of apples.  We found out some favorites and we even had a few spit them out into the trash!  ha ha (Granny Smith's are too sour for some of us!)  We were a little worried about how it was going to go because one of our friends was crying before we started because she doesn't like apples.  With a little encouragement from all of our first grade friends and a few stories from me about previous first graders who felt the same way and tried the apples and LOVED them, we were able to get her to be brave and try them!  She liked them all!  What a great life lesson we all learned today about being brave and trying new things!  It later turned into a big discussion about foods that we don't like and how we might like them one day and also foods we like now but might not like later.  

Look at her-- yeah... she clearly hates apples!  LOL


Have a great weekend everyone! Don't forget to read and record books for your Reading Logs, which are due Monday!  

Hugs and High Fives!
