I think the highlight of today was making the peach pie! All of the kids were able to help make the pie in some way, whether peeling the skin off the peaches, cutting the peaches into small pieces, pouring, measuring, or mixing. And of course eating! J This was awesome. (We also got a really great deal on the convection oven at Fred Meyer!!)
For our safari theme today, we looked at the elephant. We read The Right Number of Elephants, which is book that counts backwards from 10 elephants all the way down to 1 elephant. We then made our own counting backward books by using thumbprints. The students made thumbprints of numbers 5 down to 1, and the thumbprints were made into little elephants. This was a great activity to reinforce what we read during story time. We also made the cutest elephant handprints today too during art time! At the end of the time, we closed with a story about how a baby elephant grows up…a great informational book for children!
Here are our pictures from today!
