On Wednesday, we made Tin Can Ice Cream. This is an outdoor project and after three years I can now predict what the weather will be the day before we make ice cream. It will be nice (remember how nice it was on Tuesday?) I can also predict what the weather will be the next day when we make ice cream because it never fails-it's cold and windy! Oh, well. We made the ice cream and ate it all today. It was a delicious end to our week!
Today we graphed our favorite flavor, if we liked or did not like the ice creams and dicatated a report which will be sent home next week. When we work on a chart or graph, I ask about letters and numbers. I write the letter and the children identify or we say the word and the beginning letter sound. We are spelling yes and no. Today's graph gave us the opportunity to use the word 'equal'. Lots of laughs and lots of learning!!!

Want to do more? Take a trip to get ice cream this weekend! Do you have a 3 ring binder for those stories and reports? This is a great opportunity for your child to 'read' to you. We will be writing a lot more creative stories and reports. Missing a story or report? Let me know and I will get you a new copy. Your child can ask (or email) family members what their favorite flavor is and create their own graph. Stop in the freezer section at the store and look at all the flavors of ice cream. Keep the learning fun!
Tin Can Ice Cream-This recipe is getting harder and harder to make. Most coffee does not come in tin cans and this year my smaller can was just slightly taller requiring lots and lots and lots of duct tape to secure the big can lid.
