Our Congratulations Card
Ask me all about the Warren School Carrot Cake Cook Off!!!!!!!!!  We won!!!!!!!!!  Here is our winning recipe!!!


Kindergarten’s Carrot Cupcakes
(We are working on the letters K & C!)

3 cups grated carrots
4 eggs
1 cup crushed pineapple
⅓ cup vegetable oil
2 cups flour
1 ½ sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Baked at 350* for 15-20 minutes
Cool until room temperature

Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe:
8 oz container of ⅓ less fat cream cheese (softened)
1 cup powdered sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

We made our Carrot Cake healthier by substituting crushed pineapple for over half of the oil needed, adding less sugar, and by using farm fresh eggs.  We also substituted light cream cheese for whole cream cheese in the frosting and did not use butter at all!!!

We think our cupcakes are very YUMMY!!!

Ask me all about our trip to the Warren Library!
Today we walked together to the Library to meet with Mrs. Cupo, the children's librarian! Even Mr. Hibbert came!  We sat together and read stories about Fall.  We shared our thoughts and feelings, and we talked about all of the weather changes going on around us.
Then we made some beautiful leaf rubbings.  We used fall colors and many different types of leaves.  We worked very carefully!  
We had so much fun!  We can't wait to go back!!!

Fresh Fall Names

10/7/2014

1 Comment

 
Ask me all about my name!  We have been working hard on writing and identifying the letters in our names. Together we collected tons of fresh fall leaves. We used a glue bottle,  just like our pencils, to practice our letter formation.  Then we "pinched and pulled" the fall leaves into tiny pieces and glued them to our names. It was hard and we had to work carefully!  But we did it!!!

Ask me all about the counting book we are making!  Today we worked on the number 3!!!  We found all different ways to group 3 dots (no matter how they are grouped, it is always 3!!!) and we created the 3 page in our books!  Then we used (homemade...thank you, Mrs. Wright) playdoh to build the number 3.  We practiced singing the HWT song..."Around the tree, around the tree, that's how you make the number 3!" We also danced around the room to the song "Three is the Magic Number"  Click on the #3 below to hear the it!
Kindergarten is just SO MUCH FUN!!!
