Our theme is Farms and Farm Animals. We made Pretzels and Butter this week. We are learning that when God made land there it separated the waters that he called Seas.

A New Respect

Today we made butter from scratch. It was quiet an interesting experience. It took a whole lot of shaking and time to go through the process. We started with Heavy Whipping Cream, a little salt (to taste) and empty, clean baby food jar. It took about an 30 to 45 minutes over all of total shaking.We put the jar in the refrigerator every 5 minutes to let it get cold again, it helps to quicken the process. It is quite tasty. Edward was amazed at how it went from a milky liquid to a butter.

Writing Name

Edward wrote his name all by himself today. When I say this I mean without looking at his nameplate on his desk. He wrote it from memory and it was very clearly written. We are so proud of him.
