Hicksville Public Schools: Hands-On Fall Fun At Woodland Elementary School

Press release from Hicksville Public Schools:

October 6, 2021

Second grade students in Mrs. Pinsky’s class at Woodland Elementary School came together to make homemade applesauce as part of a fall-themed activity. Mrs. Pinsky peeled and chopped the apples at home, then during class, each student scooped apples into the crockpot. They also added cinnamon, sugar and water as part of the hands-on activity. As the applesauce cooked throughout the day, the second graders were able to observe how it changed. The interactive lesson also included writing out the recipe instructions, allowing students to practice sequencing.

Students let the applesauce cook in the crockpot before enjoying it at the end of the school day.
