Giving Thanks

After a week long study of the Pilgrims and Wampanoag, we had a fun baking day today and came together as a class to share our treats. We worked in two groups to make pumpkin muffins and butter with each child taking turns adding ingredients for the muffins and shaking a jar of cream until it turned to butter. To make the process more fun, we recited a traditional chant: Come butter come. Come butter come. Arianna's at the garden gate, waiting for a butter cake. Come butter come. After many rounds of the poem, we were rewarded with butter and spread it on crackers to taste. We also used our butter on the muffins we made. You will find a copy of the recipe in your child's folder. Happy Thanksgiving!
