As Unique as Snowflakes

This Friday we made snowflakes that were both beautiful and some that were edible. We began by following some basic folding and shape patterns for our paper snowflake...more difficult than it looks. After you guys and gals were all on your own. It was interesting to see that even though some of you became frustrated, you figured out what you were doing incorrectly by doing it again and again, and by asking each other for assistance. YAY! I love to see teamwork. I have included a picture of the ingredients and materials used so that you can do this yummy recipe again at home. Have fun!

(Pretzel sticks, frosting, sugar crystals, and baggies)

Winter Fun!

I really love Winter. It includes many celebrations and holidays like Christmas and Valentine's Day. I was thinking of a way that we could do MORE art activities and cookery. They make learning so much fun! I have therefore decided to make every Friday our ART/Cookery Day as a way to enhance and further develop our writing abilities. 

Our first activity--Hot Chocolate--was LOTS of fun and yummy, yummy, delicious. Your art cups came out beautifully, and your functional writing on giving instructions on how to make hot chocolate is right on target.

We then made snowmen kabobs and those were very tasty as well.

Penguin T-shirts

Our penguin-winter shirts came out so cute! I think I even want a penguin surfing too. I can't wait to have our 100th Day and our Valentine T-shirts. I know we didn't make a pencil for the winter, but we will be making some pencil for the other shirts.
