Jam for all!

In honor of spring (not that you could tell by the weather...), our class made our very own strawberry jam! This included cutting fresh strawberries, mixing them in a food processor and adding ingredients like sugar and pectin before stirring it all together!

We had so much fun making our jam, especially tasting it before putting it into our own take home jars! We also love listening to the story Bread and Jam For Francis by Russell Hoban. 

All of the kindergartners were reminded before they left school today, but I wanted to let all the families know that the jam that is coming home today should be placed in the freezer overnight to let the ingredients set and thicken. The kindergartners are very excited to share this jam with you as a special Saturday morning treat. We hope you like it as much as we did!

Happy Spring!
