day home- Robert Munsch part 2!

I seem to be a month or so behind on blogging, lets see if I can catch up!

Last week we explored Robert Munsch books again! the children LOVE his books and there are soo many of them!!

First we read Angela's Airplane, and made an airplane to play in!  I thought the children could paint and decorate it, but they just wanted to play!

We also read more pies, then baked strawberry apple pie!  The children cut up all the fruit, arranged it in the (shh...don't tell anyone it was store bought) pie crust and sprinkled the sugar and spice in.
 Im not really sure if any of the fruit Kayla cut up actually made it in the pie, she was taste testing ALOT!

 p is for pie!
I had one mother's day project planned, but the children remembered baking cake a year or 2 ago so we also baked lemon cake for our moms! the older children grated the lemons,
 all the children measured the ingredients, (I used a recipe from Nigella Lawson's cookbook, which is by weight, which was something fun and different for the children). 
 Kayla always wants her picture taken!
 The children squeeze the lemons, we used the left over juice to make lemonade at snack time.
 blake squeezing away in his muscle shirt.
 Blake wanted to make hearts on the cake, so after we poured on the lemon icing, we sprinkled icing sugar on top over a cut out heart. made for a very sweet cake!
 here is the one we sent home with the day home family, and how I tied this into Robert Munsch! We read I love you forever, and then over the hand prints is the verse from the book.
We also read the playhouse but the children were not interested in making the play people I had planned, too nice outside for crafts that day!
We read the sandcastle contest, and built sandcastles in the backyard sand box,
and we read swamp water and had an outside picnic snack to go with that one!
