Our class loved making applesauce on Friday! It tasted great!! We combined a variety of sliced apples, water, sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice and cooked it all day in a crockpot. We enjoyed the delicious applesauce during our snack time.
We have been working on conflict resolution as part of our Conscious Discipline lessons in class. We have a time machine mat that we use to help us learn the language to say to resolve any conflicts we may have during the day. I am so proud of our kindergarteners using their Big Voice to solve problems. Here is a picture of our Time Machine mat:
