You have just have to try this easy and delicious recipe!
We made it after reading the book
ThunderCake by Patricia Polocco.
The book is about a little girl who was afraid of storms and the true story of how her Grandma helped her overcome her fears by making ThunderCake!
On Monday we learned about the clouds.
We painted a cloud picture to go along with the book
It Looked Like Spilled Milk.
Be looking for this rather LARGE lucky duck book coming home with your child soon!
On Tuesday we created these cute creatures with the exact same 7 pieces of paper that "the wind blew to us" It's based on the book Windblown.
This is also a Lucky Duck book!
We are nearly finished making these fun ways to share our writing. Sigh...were did the year go?

Our first station was the delicious ThunderCake station. Each child got to put on their own whipped cream and slice their own strawberries.
What yummy fun!
Station 2: big floor puzzles!
Station 3: Raining Cats and Dogs
Counting by 2s!
Station 4 (with Grandma Vickie) Sunny Sight Words!
This was fun because each cloud or sun had a big word on it and a tiny little word!
And Station 5 was ways to make 10 with raindrops!
