Labeling our classroom :)

A lot of the children have started taking interest in writing for a purpose. They want to know how to spell common words in their environment or write stories and letters to their friends. With the help of friends and teachers we have started labeling our environment, allowing the children to take ownership of the room.

Making Butter!

Fill up a baby food jar about 2/3 of the way with some heavy whipping cream

 

 

 

                    Then you need to shake, shake, shake, shake, SHAAAKKKEEE!!!!

             After a few minutes of some serious shaking your cream will start to get fluffy and form peaks. This is WHIPPED CREAM! We stopped and tasted it at this point although it didn't taste like the whipped cream we are used to because it didn't have any sugar in it.

 

After a few more minutes of shaking the butter solids will seperate from the buttermilk and you will have BUTTER!

We added a little salt to our butter to make it even more delicious and then we spread it on some irish soda bread. Everyone loved it!
