100th Day of School

The children were excited to put the last sticker on our "100 Day Chart."

Mrs. Olafson brought in her favourite Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe and made a HUGE Cookie with the children. We used 100 chocolate chips to start but of course you can NEVER have too many chocolate chips so we had to add another 100.

The students enjoyed the GIANT cookie.  Delicious!!

 

 

The children were asked to bring in a collection of 100 items. We had different size 100 charts throughout the class for them to display their collections.

100 Pasta Noodles.

100 Googly Eyes.

100 Fruit Loops.

100 Marshmallows.

100 Cheerios.

This girl made a 100th Day Garden using 100 flowers.

100 Noodles.

100 Fruit Loops.

100 Clothes Pins sorted in rows of 10.

Lots of marshmallows on 100th Day!

Mrs. Olafson invited the children to guess which container has 100 items?

The next day, a group of students counted all the items in the jars by using the 100 charts in our classroom. 

100 Lego!

100 Pattern Blocks.

100 Stones.

100 Letters.

100 Links.

Finally, 100 Smarties!

The Rainbow Bakery

The children in our class have been showing an interest in baking throughout our classroom. A large group of children worked with Mrs. Olafson to change our Drama Centre into a Bakery. They decided to call it;

THE RAINBOW BAKERY

After a few days, Mrs. Olafson and the students made playdough and added it to our Bakery.

One of our students made a text to media connection and asked if we could turn the large box Mrs. Olafson brought in into a Delivery Truck like he see's on; "The Cake Boss."

Making bread with Mrs. DeYoung's Bread Maker.

We had 3 children that helped with reading the recipe, measuring and adding all the ingredients to the bread maker. 

Most children checked on the bread through the viewing window to see how it was cooking. 

"I think it is almost done Mrs. DeYoung because it is getting bigger and I can smell it, mmmmmm."

Everyone enjoyed eating it. We are hoping to make cinnamon bread later this week.

The Bakery has been very busy this month with the children taking the role as a baker, customer and cashier. They were bumping into each other and having a difficult time finding room to do all the different jobs. We decided as a group to separate the area so customers could order, eat and buy items on the menu. We also have a separate area to bake all the items. 

A variety of children decided to make cookies out of some of the things from the art centre. One of the students asked;
 "Where we going to put them so the customers could buy them?" 

Next, the children were busy making a large menu for the wall, as well as using clipboards to take orders around the room for bake goods.

The children worked together to set up deliveries. 

The children were excited to make Mrs. Olafson's favourite Chocolate Chip Cookies!
