All last week was "Apple Week" for the first graders at Nolan's school. They were asked to bring in different kinds of apples and ingredients for several recipes and then they took time in class to bake apple muffins, apple butter, and some apple tarts. They also made some apple crafts and talked about how the seeds could be planted so new trees would grow.
Nolan came home and asked if he could bake his apple muffins again at home. He actually helped out quite a bit and the muffins turned out really good.
Then he took the apple cores from the apples he had used and buried them in the yard so that we can grow new apple trees. Hopefully he'll forget that he buried them by the time the spring comes. :-)
