Chinese Lunar New Year!

Theย pre-k’s culminating event forย the two week unit ‘Occupations’ was our 4 year olds turning into little Chef’s and preparing fried bananas to celebrate Chinese Lunar New Year! We used 4 of the kitchen utensils that were in the mystery box and ‘measured’, ‘poured’, ‘sliced’ and ‘folded’ were some of the actions and vocabulary used.

A yummy international treat for all, as well as honoring our Asian family’sย 
annual traditions and cultures!

The Big Game: Super bowl ideas for kids

making cheese steaks rolups

This morning to honor this year’s teams, we made New England Clam Chowder for the Patriots and mini PhillyCheese Steak ๐Ÿˆ roll ups.

The children experienced lots of tactile stimulation, assembly and proper hand washing skills.

The team work paid off with a successful taste test and tailgate.

Best wishes to all this upcoming weekend’s family events and the Patriots and Eagles teams as they seek victory!
