Today we went to the bakery at Safeway to see all of the things they make there. We saw French bread, cake, cheesecake, cupcakes, pies, ice cream cakes, donuts, and bagels. We also got to get a cookie!
We made bakers clay and made our own pretend treats when we got home. We baked them and we will decorate them later on this week.
We glued things that start with B on to a HUGE letter B. Check out our classroom- it looks great!Soon it will be a Bakery.
Please bring in some things that we can use in our Cookies n' Dirt bakery.
We will have a Valentine party on Thursday February 11th. Please help by bringing something to share and don't forget Valentine cards! All together there are 7 children.

Our last week was filled with rain rain and more rain. We used our time to be cozy and creative as well as do lots of reading and music and movement. The week before last we made the most delicious bread any of us had ever tasted and butter made it extra yummy. We got a chance to send small pieces home to share with our families but I heard that some family members never saw or tasted the bread... humm.
This week we talked more about the letter B. B is for bread. We learned the sign for B as well as the sound then thought of words that start with a B sound. This coming week we will make a B collage.
We also lookes at different shapes of bread and made a shape collage. We took pictures of bread of different shapes and thought of other things that were the same shapes as our bread. We made a chart to document them.
We went to the Library for story time and found a yoga for kids DVD- perfect for the rainy days. Amilia is quite the yogi!!
Ryan brought the book- Brown Bear Brown Bear- The title starts with B! He read it out loud to Cecilia- so cute!
We also did Baby Bubble Baths- a letter B activity! Each child had their own baby, bath, soap, cup, and rag. The girls had a great time with this activity and I don't think I heard from them for an hour.
We played the Elefun game.
We made pumpkin Bread.
We painted with cup rims using shades of Blue paint.
More letter B this week as we make a Bakery in our playroom.
The letter C.

Welcome back!!
Happy New Year!!
I missed everyone so much over our break and hoped our transition would not be too difficult. I am still ironing out some kinks in our days but for the most part it is full steam ahead.
We are talking about bread in January. Some of the concepts we will discuss are...
Bread around the world
Types of bread
Shapes of bread
B is for bread
Yeast makes bread rise
What is a recipe?
What is bread made of?
And so on...
Last week we read a book called bread around the world and each child told us their favorite kind of bread.
Madison-"Bread toast with jam"
Ryan-"like Maddie"
Amilia-"muffin"
Addison-"cupcake bread"
Cecilia-"pan dulce"
We sang Pat a cake and used the word bread instead.
We played in buckets of salt using measuring cups and spoons.
We made banana bread.
We learned that most bread is made from flour and that a recipe tells us how to make something to eat.
We sponge painted, recorded our voices singing classics- Addison and Amilia really liked this activity.
Our new little guy Dillon had fun dancing to Techno on our "Little DJ toy" while wearing a dolly in a backpack.
We all enjoyed beading on pipecleaners and making bracelets for our Moms.
