This week was one of our favorite cooking classes of the year--gingerbread house making! Our staff helped assemble the houses out of graham crackers and frosting so that students could decorate them with an assortment of candies, chocolates, and marshmallows! As with most cooking classes, gingerbread house making is not only delicious and fun, but it also improves fine motor skills as students pick up small items and stick them to their house!

Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and today's cooking class was a gobbling-good time...we made sweet, delicious turkeys out of graham crackers, pretzels, vanilla wafers, and candies.
Ms. Melissa's Pre-K class also made Native American teepees out of ice cream cones, chocolate, and pretzels. All of our classrooms have been busy learning about Thanksgiving for Pilgrims & Indians week here at Future Scholars and everyone is excited for our Thanksgiving Feast, which will be on Monday Nov. 24TH. Remember, you can sign up to bring something to your child's class party and you can also purchase them a Thanksgiving-themed school lunch that day. Just see us at the front desk for more information or to pay. Anyone already purchasing lunch that day will have a delicious Thanksgiving feast instead of the regular Monday menu. The past two weeks' themes at Future Scholars have been "Apples of Plenty" and "Fall Harvest" so it was only fitting that our classrooms would celebrate with lots of apple-related crafts and activities!
After last week's Apple Picking trip to Johnson's Farm you might think that our students would be all "appled out", but they had a blast cooking apple sauce, making apple prints, and more! |
