Geysers and Other Landscapes

Today the kids did bread making to begin. We put their creations on a tray to rise until they were ready to bake for snack time. Here is the recipe we used:

No Fail Bread

1 1/2 tablespoons of yeast
2 cups warm water
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons of oil
5 cups flour

Start with yeast and water, addthe sugar and oil. Let stand for a few minutes until mixture becomes bubbly, (or not...remember thisis fail proof...the bread will still turn out!) then add flour.

Bake in 350 degree oven for 20 minutes.

After that we cleaned hands and had a few minutes of free play while I cleaned the dough up.

Circle time:

Opening prayer (Calvin), hello song, weather, day of week & month

Did Rhyme games "Hanky Panky" and "Two Little Blackbirds"

Read "The Country Mouse and the City Mouse" - talked about how living in the country is different than living in the city. Did a few "Landscape" flashcards (moutain, lake, river, volcano, waterfall, canyon, hill, geyser, etc.)

Geyser craft

Songs at the piano - ABC, Old MacDonald
