We are learning about the food groups this week...

	Monday, we made fruit salad.  We added a mango, strawberries, kiwi, oranges, pears, apples, pineapple, blueberries, and bananas. It was delicious!
Tuesday, we learned about the vegetable group.  While our soup was cooking, we created a vegetable soup mural.
	Here's the recipe!
Wednesday, we discussed the dairy group and  made butter.  Making butter was amazing.  All that we had to do was put whipping cream in a container and shake, and shake, and shake!  We drank the buttermilk that we poured off and tasted the butter on crackers.
Thursday, we baked bread and ate it with our homemade butter.  First, we formed letters with our dough...	Next, we asked Ms. Sharon to bake it for us...
Doesn't it look yummy?	It tastes great!
Friday, we made homemade ice cream.  Here's the recipe that we used if you want to try it at home, too. Homemade Ice Cream 4 cups whipping cream 2 cups sweetened condensed milk 4 cups cold water 2 Tablespoons vanilla While our ice cream was freezing, we graphed our favorite flavor of ice cream.  Here are the results...Ask your favorite "K" Kid which had the most, least, and how many more, or how many less?
Yummy!  This is the best	Ice cream is worth celebrating.
We watched "The Magic School Bus, Ready, Set, Dough".  Ms. Frizzle and her gang learned about the kitchen chemistry that happens while making a cake.  After the show, we tried a little chemistry of our own.  We put baking soda in the balloon and vinegar in the bottle.  Before we dumped them together, we predicted what would happen.  A scientist's prediction is a hypothesis.  That's a big word...and we love big words!!
	It caused a chemical reaction and blew up the balloon!
