Cooking In Our Classroom

So... I have learned that these boys and girls have the kind of memory that an elephant does..... they do NOT forget one thing I say.  During our week of Fairy Tales, that got interrupted by our "snow event," we had planned to make "pigs in the blanket."  (You know for the Three Little Pigs.)  We unfortunately did not get to this project because, upon our return, we moved on to our next unit.  However- these 12 amazing children did not forget the details of this cooking project -  because they really love to cook.  Every day since we returned, at least one of them asked "hey Mrs. Laura... did you forget about the pigs in the blanket?"  So what is a preschool teacher to do?  Of course... figure out how to adjust lesson plans to include this project... thus we have "rocket dogs."

 Please do not judge me for the silliness of this project... but they absolutely LOVED it.  They helped make the list of ingredients, identified the steps to prepare them, assisted in the preparation and enjoyed the finished project.  We totally enjoy any opportunity to cook and our super proud that we can help.
