Period A and B : We began with our Mindfulness Minutes. We went to the ME Kitchen. Some of the students from last year helped to show the new students where things are kept in the kitchen. We washed our hands and put on our aprons. Here is a picture of us all ready to cook...

 We then watched Mr. Wilkens do a demonstration of how to make an Apple Pie. Some of us had a chance to practice our measuring skills. Here is a picture of Fahim measuring out the flour for the pastry.

After the pastry was made Mr. Wilkens put it in the fridge to chill. We then began to make the apple filling. We all got a chance to use a special tool that peels, cores and slices the apples. It was a lot harder to do than it would first appear. Here is a video of Brandon doing an amazing job with the tool..

We watched Mr. Wilkens roll out the pastry  and learned how to do it, though because of time constraints we did not get a chance to do it ourselves. Next time we make pies we all will get a chance to practice this skill, which is probably the hardest aspect of making a pie. After we put the pies  in the oven we went back to our classroom where we did some review of what we had learned.

Period C: We met in the ME Kitchen to sample our Apple Pie. Here is a picture of the final product.

We all got to enjoy the pie with some Ice Cream…..

Period D: We filled in the Daily Report. We had a Mindfulness Meditation Sit.
