Kindergarten: The kindergartener’s sign-in this morning was a little more involved than usual. Their task: write down a recipe for Irish Soda Bread. Daniel joined in on the kid-spelling and he, Elliott and Elizabeth took turns writing ingredients. Many words and their letters were heard, such “flr” for flour, “shgr” for sugar and “sat” for salt. After they finished writing down the recipe, they counted the number of ingredients!

 

Next, many Wee Friends accepted the invitation to come make Irish Soda bread. We took turns measuring and pouring ingredients while often checking our recipe to see what we needed to add to our dough next.

Elizabeth had the idea to make our bread in the shape of a shamrock. The final result was delicious!

Outside, many friends worked together to fill up a variety of buckets with rocks. Their goal—to build a house! It was a very involved process with many friends working in the same space simultaneously.

Here, Elliott outlines the plan for the house in sand:

Wee Sprouts: Carrots. Breakfast: Whole grain Cheerios and fresh apples. Lunch: Whole grain brown rice with quinoa and shredded beef, broccoli/cauliflower/carrots, and bananas/oranges. Snack: Homemade apple crisp and Irish soda bread.
