A lot was happening at MCP this week! Our MWF classes did a sweet unit on sugar and salt. We started off the week observing sugar and salt. How are they the same? How are they different? We looked at picture cards of different foods. Each child had two cards-salt and sugar. We decided if each food was sweet/salty or would you add sugar or salt to that food.
Today we made a sweet and salty snack. We tasted each food a placed it under the right category. Some foods are salty and sweet. Before I write the word I ask what is the beginning letter sound. We had a good discussion on CH, too!
We added all the ingredients into a large bowl. The children broke the pretzel sticks into bite size pieces and we ate a great snack. Please check your child's backpack because we sent home a snack bag to share with our families.Finally, we decide if we liked or did not like the snack. We counted our tally marks. The afternoon class had a fun time with the number zero.
Want to do more at home? Give your child a small amount of sugar and salt to look at on plate. If you have a magnifying glass all the better. Make your own sweet and salty snack.
