Busy Bakers
I want to give a HUGE thank you to our guest bakers today! Moms and Grandmas that came today--you're awesome! We tackled some pretty tough recipes and worked with some unfamiliar ingredients (dates, figs, and walnuts--oh my!) and the result were beautiful cookies. On Friday we will get to sample what we made!

Projects!
Tomorrow should be a day of fun for our class. We are going to be making two types of cookies for CBAI (cultural based art integration). Today, to prepare for this endeavor, we read through the recipes, which are very detailed and created flow charts that detail what we are going to do for each step and the person responsible for completing the task. Tomorrow we are making Italian Fig Bundles and Honey-Dipped Greek Cookies. I'm looking forward to this experience!
In the afternoon some high school students are going to teach us how to decoupage a glass jar. Please bring your glass jar to school tomorrow and if you have extras, bring them as well.
We are working really hard on our Author's Tea stories. It is a really time consuming project but it gives the students a good opportunity to become a real published author!
Last week we had the opportunity to use Skype to meet Madame Gagne's class who are in Thompson, Manitoba, Canada. What a great experience! Now we can really put a name to a face when we write our letters. We will soon be having one on one sessions with our partners through Skype to discuss wolf issues and share and make connections between life in Canada and the United States.
Winter break is approaching. Students, keep up the good work!
Have a great evening,
Mrs. E.
