November Kids Kitchen (M-W-F Class)

This month in Kid's Kitchen we made Oreo Cookie Turkeys and Marshmellow Pilgrim Hats.

Before the fun even began, Miss Crystal got to fell like a junk food junkie at the store when she bought only the following items in a transaction:

Double Stuff Oreos
White, Yellow & Orange Frosting
Orange Candy Slices
Whoppers
Reeses Peanut Butter Cups
Jumbo Marshmellows
Chocolate Chips
Fudge Stripe Cookies

I got some seriously funny looks from the people in the grocery store! I promise that in December we will cook something with absolutely NOOOOO SUGAR! Despite the sugar-high, we had a great time! Thanks to Madison's mom Bre for helping out in our class that day! The kids love her and even told me later that she is much better as circling their "Best Work" than I am. Apparently she is better at drawing smiley faces... Miss Crystal promises to work on that...

November Fieldtrip (M-W-F Class)

In November we spent a week learning about our Five Senses. What better place to put what we learned to the test than at COLDSTONE CREAMERY!!!

We got to go on a short tour of the ice cream shop. We squished a bag of ice-cream mix and learned that Cold Stone makes their ice cream out of 12% milk (my poor family who always drinks skim...). We even got to go behind the counter and see the stone where they mix the ice cream. I think that every kid's favorite part was where they got to pick out their favorite flavor of ice cream and a mix-in, and of course eat it! I loved watching the excitement on these little one's faces. It puts a new meaning to "Kids in a Candy Shop"...
