Ma'ema'e Elementary

Oahu, Hawaii

Aloha,

We are a first grade class from the island of Oahu. Our school is called Ma'ema'e Elementary. Ma'ema'e is over 100 years old and nestled in a place called Nuuanu Valley. This is just outside of Honolulu, which is our state's capitol. We have almost 800 students ranging from Kindergarten to sixth grade.

We made Apple Smiles at the beginning of the year to show how happy we were to be back in school.

 

Here is our recipe for Apple Smiles. It's not an original but the class enjoyed making them all by themselves.

 

1. Gather the ingredients:

2 large apples

1/2 cup smooth peanut butter

mini-marshmallows

 

2. Cut two apples into eight slices each.

 

3. Remove apple cores.

 

4. Spread peanut butter on one side of each slice.

 

5. Place marshmallows between two apple slices.

 

6. Grin back at your Apple Smile.

Hello to all project paticipants:

Our kindergarten is a small village kindergarten. 75 students at the age of 3 up to 6 are joining this kindergarten every morning.

On the lot there are many fruit- trees and fruit- bushes, one kitchen- garden and a herb- bed.

During the last September week we celebrate our market every year. We make lots of marmelade and jelly. The fruits we need will be brought from home by the students or we collect them in the local environment.

Once the students collected too much apples and we didn't like to cook marmelade and jelly any more. We make this delicious apples for the first time and share them with each other at snack time.

Therefore we now introduce to you our nutritious snack, composed as a seasons greeting from Germany to all participants.

It's named......

 

Colored Hedgehog

 

You need:

* wooden toothpicks

* one delicious apple which looks very nice

* cheese, cut into little cubes

* different kind of canned food e.g. pickled onions, cocktail sausages

* different kind of fruits e.g. pineapple, grapes etc.

 

First stick the wooden toothpicks into the delicious apple.Then stick each toothpick one after the other with pieces of cheese, cocktail sausage, pickled onions, peaces of pineapple and grapes. Of course you can add or change the hedgehog's color and vary the kind of food used. Your hedgehog should be colorful and attractive.

All little "cooks" can participate to make this nutritious snack. (picture is on next page)
