Throughout the year, we have added Fairy Tale/Nursery Rhyme Fridays! The kindergartners have enjoyed a wide variety of STEAM activities revolving around the Fairy Tale or Nursery Rhyme at the end of each week. After building bridges and houses, relay races water up and down the hill, mapping routes for characters that have gotten lost, and a ton of others; we finally decided to brave the kitchen and test our baking skills.
We worked with Miss Clark on Thursday to learn The Muffin Man song and of course she went above and beyond to teach a dance to go with it. Once we were experts at the song we got to take a peek at the lyrics to search for all the sight words. Now that we mastered the lyrics, we found a nut-free, vegan recipe to bake. Students had so much fun learning how to read the ingredients, use the appropriate measuring tool, and follow the directions to create delicious chocolate chip muffins. We had so much fun singing the song as we took turns adding ingredients, mixing the batter, and filling the muffin tins. The kindergartners each got a muffin to bring home and eat. We even made plenty of extras for the teachers. The rave reviews kept pouring in all afternoon, and the kindergartners we grinning from ear to ear so proud of their new baking skills!
