As we near the end of our week and are greatly anticipating the time we will spend with our families over Winter Break, we decided to spread a little festive cheer in Rainey Room today by baking cookies together!

​Butter


It's sticky. - Michael 
Baking Powder
That's tomato sauce. It has something red. - Remy (noticing the photo on the can - biscuits with red jam)

It's ice cream. That stuff looks like ice cream. - Daniel (again, noticing the biscuits on the can)

A small group of five children volunteered to be our cookie bakers today.

Some fun cookie shapes were created during the process, including "dog bones"!
Hugh - a dog bone for Zuzu. 
Cape - Who is Zuzu?
Lily - Hugh’s dog.
Cape - Can you also make one for Sweetie?
Hugh - Sure! When it’s my next turn.

We're looking forward to enjoying a delicious cookie treat tomorrow before our holiday Chapel!

Making Paper

This week, Tucker Room friends were exploring making their own paper. We haven't revisited this process since our Brown Room year! They kindly offered to share some of their paper pulp with us so we were able to make our own paper this week as well. Thanks Tucker friends!
