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. Measuring and adding flour.                                  Measuring sugar   Breaking the eggs. 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.     http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Keepersofthefaith/612703/ Fri, 31 Oct 2008 12:23:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Keepersofthefaith/612703/   We have been studying Fire Safety over the last few weeks.   Here are some pictures of our visit from the FIre Dept.   We presented them with a gift bag of breakfast foods.

They are easy to assemble, just needing glue and a little patience. We got them from the Keepers Of the Faith SIte. We sent them home so they could be painted and hung up. We also talked about our state bird (Mockingbird) and listened to it's song.   http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Keepersofthefaith/585839/ Fri, 5 Sep 2008 22:15:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Keepersofthefaith/585839/     Each girl was given a packet to take home. This packet should be returned each week. In the packet there is a picture of a bird, a report page and a scavenger hunt of things to learn while we study this unit.    This week we discussed different things about birds. Here is a picture of the girls acting like cranes. We learned that cranes do this to keep warm.     http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Keepersofthefaith/583430/ Mon, 1 Sep 2008 14:05:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Keepersofthefaith/583430/ Ms. April has worked hard this summer to have excited things planned for our clubs this semester.
