Butter! Butter!! Butter!!! Yes, that's right...butter! We've been doing some fun things in Kindergarten the last couple of weeks and butter was one of those things! We've been talking about the Pilgrims and charting present and past (I forgot a pic of our chart :( . However, making butter is a great science project to do at this time of the year. You need 3 things: 1. a small container of heaving whipping cream 2. a mason jar 3. excited students. We read The First Thanksgiving and charted past and present. It always amazes little ones that they just didn't go to the store. So, to illustrate this we make homemade butter in our room. I do explain that this is not exactly how the Pilgrims did it but it's a good illustration. Pour your heavy whipping cream into the mason jar. Let students note how the cream is a thick liquid. Seal the jar and let each student shake the jar 20 times..at the end of this your cream will be butter and a soft solid. I salt it and bring in homemade bread for a snack...let me tell you there was not one crumb left!! Oh...Grab some great freebies at the bottom of the page!!
They were shaking their little hearts out!!!
