CORNBREAD AND BUTTER

We will not have any Specialists join us on a Friday for the next few weeks.  During this time we will have the opportunity to cook together as a Community.  Today we made butter and cornbread. 

 First we went outside and had fun in the snow.

My intention was to bring my butter churn in so the children could use it and see how people use to make butter before electricity.  Of course, I forgot it.  We used a jar to shake the cream and salt, and friends soon realized it takes a long time to turn cream into butter this way.  We turned to a modern alternative and got the electric whisk out.  Within minutes we had thick cream, which very quickly separated into butter and buttermilk.  

Each person tried spreading butter on their bread and everyone gave it a thumbs up.

Ms. Castillo worked with other students to make cornbread muffins.  Measuring, mixing and spooning the mix into the muffin cases.

During storyteller time we ate our cornbread while listening to Mr. Andrews Gunny wolf story.
