Down on the Farm



    Our week was super short, but we were able to get a few fun things in!  Here's a few of the activities that we did.  I still have a few more things to share, but they are not finished.
We celebrated Columbus Day on Monday.  I usually do so much with Columbus, but because of our short week, pictures, and our Farm theme we just did a few things.

We learned about sink or float in Science and made Coke Float (please don't hate on me!)  We also made sink or float pictures but either they did not turn out, or I forgot to snap pictures of them.  We also read a story about Columbus and learned a song from Dr. Jean about him.

We learned about cows and had a milk tasting of white, chocolate, or strawberry milk.

We graphed our favorite type of milk.  I found the cute little cups at the dollar store!


We made these cute cow glyphs from Deanna Jump.  You can find it here.

We read the story The Little Red Hen and made bread.  This recipe is super easy and tasted really yummy!
Brean in a Bag
Mix in a heavy duty ziplock baggie:
1 cup flour
1 packet dry yeast
3 tablespoons dry milk
1 teaspoon salt

Add and mix (getting the air out of baggie):
1 cup hot water
2 tablespoons oil

Add and mix:
2-3 cups flour or until the bread no longer sticks to the bag

Knead bread in the bag.
Rest the dough in the bag for 10 minutes.
Raise in a greased pan.
Cover with a towel for 20 minutes.
Bake at 375 for 25-30 minutes in a small loaf pan.
The final product!  It really was good!  I did not get any pics of the class making the bread, but they had a great time!

We learned about pigs and painted with chocolate pudding to make our pigs in the mud.

We also did a descriptive writing activity of what mud looked like and felt like.



We are working on our Mrs. Wishy Washy books, but will not finish  until next week.  I love how these turned out.  You can find this activity here at Making Learning Fun.

     Have a great week!

Cooking in the Classroom

     I just love learning about Gingerbread! (I don't know why :0)  We had so much fun!  Not only did we make Gingerbread Houses, we made our very own Gingerbread Boys and Girls!  We have a wonderful  teacher (Mrs. C), who no longer has a class of her own, but comes in twice a week and works with our 4 and 5 year old classes.  She loves to cook, so I have been having her come in and bake with us!  The kiddos love when Mrs. C comes to visit us! :)

She explained our activity and sanitized everyone's hands.

She went through each ingredient and showed them the different measuring tools that we would be using.  She also told them each person would get to do one thing, but everyone would be able to roll out their dough, cut out their cookie and decorate it.

Mrs. C did the mixing. :)

Taking turns putting in the ingredients.


Mixing all of the ingredients together.  My pictures did not turn out of rolling and cutting the dough. :(

The final product!  Yummy, Yummy!  We were surprised that they didn't run away!
    I will try to remember to get her wonderful recipe and post!  These were the best Gingerbread cookies I have ever tasted!
