For our last day of cooking camp we made a delicious treat, candy apples! Our little chefs dipped their apple in caramel and then sprinkles to make a candy apple! It was too good to not eat, so we had them for snack! Then we made a second to take home. What a fun way to dress up apples!
Today for watermelon Wednesday, the boys and girls made cookies out of their watermelon! The children used cookie cutters to cut out a shape, then iced it with yogurt and added some sprinkles. Watermelon cookies are a great summer snack!
Today our little chefs made their own carrot patches. At group time we read Just Enough Carrots by Stuart Murphy. Then we scooped hummus into a cup, added some carrots, dropped it in a pot and created a carrot patch! The boys and girls all seem to love carrots and were excited to take their treats home. Enjoy!
To kick off our cooking week, we read If you give a Mouse a Cookie by Laura Numeroff and made chocolate chip cookies! The children told us all about how they help make cookies at home and were very excited to make some at school! The boys and girls helped pour in the ingredients and stir it all together. The cookies turned out great!
The boys and girls had some much fun during music week! They we able to explore and make all new kinds of instruments such as, tissue box guitars, sand paper sticks, water bottle maracas, and tambourines. The children had a blast jamming with Ms. Joanie and her guitar all week!
Our mini music makers love to try out new instruments! Ms. Joanie came in today and everyone had a chance to strum the guitar. The boys and girls also had the opportunity to help Ms. Joanie play the Up Down Whistle. It was a lot of fun!
Are classroom is full of mini music makers! The boys and girls are having so much fun exploring new instruments and sounds!
The boys and girls love vegetables…..well, painting with them! Today we read Up, Down, and Around by Katherine Ayres and talked about the different colors of vegetables and their names. Then the children made vegetable prints with eggplants, peppers and broccoli! It was a fun new way to paint!
Today we read The Carrot Seed by Ruth Krauss . The children loved looking at the BIG book and some even sat and read the story themselves! After group time the boys and girls made their own carrots by pouring some goldfish into their bag, then we tied them up to make a carrot!
