During Week 2, we read the famous big book Chicka Chicka, Boom Boom. I shared my love for the fabulous song version of it here in this past post.
I free-handed the paper with a Sharpie and the kids colored the leaves and coconuts before we "cooked." The trunk is a graham cracker covered with Sunbutter (a delish p.b. alternative) and a sprinkling of AlphaBits cereal.
Being a teacher who always wants my students to know (and be able to verbalize) what they are learning, I always stop and ask them throughout the day. "What are you learning right now?" They always answer my question during our weekly cooking activities (we "cook" every Friday) with: We're learning how to cook!
Well yes, my sweet bears, but the real learning target when we "cook," is to listen and follow multi-step directions! Oh, and to have fun, too. ;)
