We decided to bump up the Baking unit and end with the Needlepoint unit.

Last  week we talked about measuring. How to measure flour-you scoop and scrape.

Measuring sugar you gently shake off the excess to get an even amount.

We talked about tools for cooking. Measuring cups 1/2 cup, 1/4 cup etc.

We talked about teaspoons and tablespoons etc.

We practiced measuring different items.

This week we actually made cookies in class. Each girl was assigned part of the recipe.

Here are some pictures.

Scooping the cookie dough onto the baking sheet.

Mrs. April baked them while the girls finished their morning classes.

Each girl got a baggie of cookies at lunch time-that they could take home and enjoy.
