This week we read Stone Soup. We reviewed the characters, the setting, put the events of the story in order, and even took part in a sensory exploration! Students tried new foods and sampled the vegetables from the story. Some students liked the veggies and others did not. Take a peek below at some of our work 🙂

This week our class practiced important life skills like following recipes, cooking, and sequencing the steps to make yummy Christmas treats! On Wednesday we read an informational text on how to make hot cocoa. Then, followed a recipe to make our own hot cocoa. On Thursday, we read a text on baking cookies. Then, we made and decorated Christmas cookies 🙂 We also incorporated math and made addition sentences with a hot cocoa mug template and cotton balls as marshmallows.
Take a look below at some pictures!
