We celebrated Valentine's Day in many ways today from decorating cookies with our seventh grade buddies to making valentines mailboxes out of old tissue boxes. But one of the most interesting activities we partook in was an apple tasting. Susan Taylor from the Good Food Project came in with several apples for the whole class to try. Ask your son or daughter about the steps to apple tasting: first smell it, then lick it, and finally chew and savor it. Each student chose their favorite variety of apple and wrote it in on the letter sent home. After the tasting, each student was called forward to make an "apple slinky" with a special crank that Susan brought. We all learned a lot about apples and how great they are for us! Look in your son or daughter's folder to find coupons for $3.00 off apples at a local grocery store.
