Food, Food, and More Food

This has been a fun week with all the food that we've been cooking!  We started out the week making Puppy Chow.  That wasn't from one of the countries that we studied but it was on the back of the cereal that we ate at snack and it suggested by several students that we make it so we did and it was delicious.  We did look at food from Italy and we chose to make pizzas today.  We each made our own with an English muffin.  Then we added pizza sauce, mini pepperonis, and shredded mozzarella cheese.  We made them about mid-morning and played for a few minutes while they baked and they were a hit to make and a hit to eat!  We have wonderful cooks in our classroom!

We also made letters and numbers in cool whip with graham cracker sticks this week that involved a little eating and little creating!  We talked about the letters with straight versus curved lines.  We practiced our letter making skills while we used the graham crackers to make the lines or to write in the cool whip.  It was great fun and delicious too.

We watched our last segments of the instruments of the orchestra this week.  We finished with the string section and the percussion section.  We also played in our flutophone band and learned of different ways to make sounds come out of our instruments.  We each had a chance to play a solo in front of our friends and then take a bow as their friends clapped for them!
