Fun and Exciting Times!

Hello Families!

Tuesday the friends prepared hummus with Stephanie.  We thought it was funny because it was cooking class, but there wasn't any actual cooking.  But lots to learn!  For a few days before this, we talked a bit about hummus and made some predictions.  Here are two lists they created:

Thinking about what it tastes like from our prior experiences:
Minty, salty, tastes like cheese, spicy, watery

Predicting what ingredients might be in hummus:

Mint, salt, french fries, cheese, pepper, a little water, something yellow-ish or white-ish.

Then the friends looked at the recipe that Stephanie so diligently created and found what goes in hummus. After preparing this treat, they used bagels and vegetables to make Bagel Faces.  Stephanie shared that there were many friends who said they didn't like the vegetables offered, but then she also noticed that a lot of friends ended up eating their creation!  So it seems it was a success.  It's fun to mix, test, taste and discover new things to eat.  Below you see the recipe.  Sometimes this blog doesn't like images and even though I have already rotated them, it wants them to be sideways.  Sorry that it's odd!





We have also been exploring with the Kappla a lot lately.  The friends are on a mission to build to the ceiling.  This has been tricky.  The latest work has been in testing what patterns will be best to be able to meet this challenge.  The friends have built as high as they can standing on a chair, and need your help.
 If you can bring a 8 or 10 ft ladder please do!  The friends are super excited to reach the ceiling. 
Also, if you have any Kappla type blocks, and could lend them, we may need them!

Happy Veteran's day!  Love, Jennifer
