At the end of January we received our first shipment of apples as part of our involvement in the BC School Fruit and Vegetable program. Our students were responsible for receiving the fruit, discarding damaged produce, washing each apple, counting enough for every classroom in the school and then delivering this healthy snack to each room. Here are some hardworking students counting and cleaning apples.
The apples were greatly appreciated in the school and our class has received many thanks for their help in providing this nutritious snack to their peers. We ended up with about 100 extra apples and decided to make applesauce with them. We figure that by the late spring time we will have made and frozen enough applesauce to do a unit on food preservation and can the applesauce for a fundraiser.
It has been very rewarding to watch my students gain skills and be valued by their peers!
