Making Cranberry Sauce - FAS M/W/F AM

In light of Thanksgiving, we made Cranberry Sauce in class to share with the family.

Here are the step-by-step instructions for our cranberry sauce:


 First, we measured 2 cups of sugar. We melted the sugar and 2 cups of water in a pot.

 


We waited for the sugar and water to melt and boil.

 
 
Then, we added 6 cups of cranberries into the pot.

 


We then needed to wait patiently until we heard the cranberries “popping” in the pot.

 


We then mashed the cranberries. Thereafter, we turned off the stove and let the sauce cool.

 


As it was cooling, we juiced an orange to add some citrus flavour to our sauce. We learned that we first needed to cut the orange in half. Then, we used the orange juicer to extract the juice. We needed to push and turn the orange until we got all the juice out.

 


Added the juice to the cranberry sauce.

 


Voilà! Delicious Cranberry Sauce ready for the special day.

We hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving Day!
 

Karen, Michelle, and Matt

The exploration of natural environments nurture children’s curiosity and holistic learning as much, or even more, than a classroom. Some of the benefit of connecting children with nature include: supporting creativity and problem solving, increasing physical activity, reducing stress, promoting social emotional development. We see children as innate scientists, artists, builders… full of wonders and curiosity they can nourish and experiment while they are playing in nature.

Social Responsibility: Down to the Core

Social responsibility- a term that has now become quite common in the field of education and has the potential to lose its meaning if we are not careful. As an early childhood educator, I have always placed great importance on the need to develop this way of thinking in young children. It is for this reason that we engage in activities that benefit others, such as volunteering at our local food bank, adopting an owl, or raising money for Variety Club. With the recent catastrophe in the Philippines, my mind was suddenly thrown into its own typhoon. I found myself asking questions around social responsibility and what it really means. What does it mean to me? What does it mean to my preschoolers? How far does it extend into the world around us? Can four year old children grasp these deep and complex concepts? What can they understand about their world? How can we teach them about being socially responsible to: ones self; ones family; ones community; ones province; ones country; ones worl...
