Ms. Kelsey’s toddler class helped make chocolate chip muffins for letter M week!
During our hands-on whole group activity, we talked about following a recipe, practiced taking turns, and used our senses.
Asking questions and letting our little learners process what they are experiencing through their senses helps to connect these ideas to other environments and experiences outside of the classroom. Some things we discussed: What color was the mix? What color did it turn after we added our eggs? Was it cold or warm? How did it feel? Squishy or solid? We could smell the muffins in our classroom after they came out of the oven. And of course, we got to taste them, which was the best part!
