Today we tried monkey bites! They were so delicious that they were eating them so fast and we were unable to take pictures. To make monkey bites you mix peanut butter and honey together onto slices of banana. Place them in the freezer and then top with magic shell. Yummy!!
I.W.- They tasted like banana.
B.H.- Banana ice cream!
M.W.- Chocolate and peanut butter!
E.K.- Tasted like ice cream!!
A.T.- All I know is the kids loved them!
5.14.13, Kindergarten: Eric Carle Drawings
The kindergarten students created an animal based on their Eric Carle inspired books. Mr. Chuck and Ms. Kara showed the students a short video of Eric Carle working in his studio. Eric Carle would draw the picture of the animal and then use tissue paper to fill-in. The students first traced their animal on tissue paper or they drew their animal on white paper. The students used glue, scissors, and colorful paper to create their animal.
Henry W: “I am making a snake using paper and glue.”
Blake: “This is a bee from my story. It is The Hungry Bee!”
Grace: “I am making a tiger with orange and black paper.”
Mickey: “This is a dog from my story. I am going to make a caterpillar too.”
