Apple Krispies

Today we made our last delicious apple snack. I had 18 wonderful helpers who got to make each Rice Krispie treat into an apple!

How cute!

And delicious!

Well, that's it for apples...now on to...Pumkins!

YeeeHaw!!

We've had a great week in PreK A learning all about the letter C, and how we can keep ourselves healthy. We talked all about different ways to keep ourselves clean, and why that helps to keep us healthy. Then we discussed healthy eating. We learned the 5 food groups, and that it's important to always have a colorful plate!

Then, what a better way to end our letter C week than with a C-C Cowboy Day?!?! Everyone looked great in their hats, vests, "dambanas", and even spurs!

Did you know that in our class we have a real cowboy?!?! This was a perfect week for our friend Rece to be the Star of the Week! We learned through his show and tell that he shows his bull in fairs. How cool is that?! You should have seen the smile on his face when I told him we were having a Cowboy Day:).

Thanks for being an amazing Star, Cowboy, AND Birthday Boy!

Goldilocks

Today we learned about matching by size to make appropriate pairs. To do this we read the classic tale of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. We learned that each bear had the perfect size chair, bowl, and bed to fit them. We also learned to use the appropriate size words, small, middle, and, big. Then we used a worksheet with our own set of counting bears along with a SmartBoard activity.

Recipes Galore

A new skill that we leared in PreK this week was to follow a recipe.  We learned that recipes are like rules that must be followed, and if they aren't the food will not turn out correctly.  We will be using many recipes this year to make some yummy snacks, so we started with some easy and delicious ones this week.

First B-B-Butter!

Notice one ingredient that's not on the recipe?  

Yep..blue food coloring!

We made Blue Butter!

SHAKE!!

 Then we started the "Butter Boogie"!

We had SO much fun making our butter, and an even better time trying it!

The next recipe we followed went along with our apple month...Apple Sauce!

8 peeled and chopped apples

 Dump into a crockpot

 Water

 Put the lid on, and put the crock pot on high for 4 hours.

I will leave you with an adorable snapshot, and Brynley's Star of the Week board.
