Fun Friday in Mrs. Lau and Mrs. Andrade`s Room

Happy Friday! 

Our class made pumpkin pie to celebrate Friday. The children read the recipe and helped measure the ingredients. Once the pie was complete, we put it into the oven to bake. 

We all tried a piece of the pie in the afternoon. Some of the children decided they didn't like the taste and others asked for a second piece!

Ingredients

2 9-inch pie crusts
4 eggs
1 can pumpkin puree
2 cups packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cups evaporated milk

Directions

1.Preheat oven to 425 degrees F
2. Beat eggs lightly in a medium bowl. Add pumpkin, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Blend thoroughly, then meat in milk. Pour into pastry-lined pie plates.
3. Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes. Reduce heat to 325 degrees F and bake until set, 20-30 minutes more. Chill before serving.

Our New Class Pet ~ Mrs. Lau and Mrs. Andrade

We are very excited to announce the caterpillar that was introduced last week has spun a cocoon!!! We are eagerly awaiting to see what happens. Our wonder wall is full of wonders about caterpillars and butterflies, and we will be exploring more as the weeks progress. The children are having a blast exploring the book The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle and using the puppets and props in the reading centre to retell the story.
