Birthday Cake Baking!Both groups baked cakes for the school's birthday celebration tomorrow. Yesterday the Rainey crew baked for the Brown Room. We used a recipe recommended by Brigitte... Lemon Yogurt Cake. It should be good, but it nowhere near as spectacular as the cake that the morning Rainey program baked for their special snack! Today it was Tucker Room's turn to bake a gluten-free version of the cake. They discussed the process as they worked, making connections to other things they had recently discussed.
What do eggs do when you cook? - Jordan Eggs make it puff - Janie Eggs stick the pieces together - Giacomo You don't get the taste of eggs, though. No one wants to taste raw eggs - Jack (reading the instructions aloud)...mix until homogeneous - Jordan What does that mean? - Janie Do you remember when we talked about "monochromatic" today? - Elyse It's when everything is one color - Lochie Homogeneous is similar. The whole thing should look the same. So if we mix until its homogeneous, it means the batter should look the same all the way through.- Jordan It means it looks the same - Lochie It means its all one thing - Giacomo The children mix vegetable oil into their mixture Is it homogeneous yet? - Jordan Yes! It was 2 things (the oil sat on top) but now it's one thing. - Lochie

Refining our GuardiansAs part of the process for creating our St. John's guardians, we broke into small groups to focus on the individual guardians. Our groups discussed what made each guardian unique. By sharing our ideas, we built our communication and empathy skills as a collaborated on a complex idea. Each of the members had different ideas about what made the guardian special to them. By listening to their peers in the discussion, the children were about to respectfully agree on the specificities of their group's guardian. "It has to connect all the kids ideas. It's not just for one kid." - Lily The Human Guardian The Message Guardian
The Clay Guardian Lily and Cate joined the group and the group shared their ideas. Once Lily and Cate understood what the group had come up with so far, they create addition designs to help. |
