Happy Thanksgiving!

In honor of the Thanksgiving holiday, the students shared three cooking experiences. First, students used apples and Froot Loops to create Apple Turkeys.  The students enjoyed showcasing their AB, ABC, and AABB patterning skills on the feathers! 

Next, students learned about Squanto, a Native American who helped the Pilgrims plant different crops.  They made Squanto cups that contained different items needed to grow corn.  They used Oreos for dirt, a Goldfish cracker for fertilizer, candy corn for corn, and whipped cream for snow. 

Last, students enjoyed a Thanksgiving feast where they sampled pumpkin pie, cranberries, and popcorn.  Students also made butter and created miniature turkeys out of Oreo cookies.  Yum!
