Well that was an exciting week! We finished up our Imagine That! unit with a lot of independent art exploration. We did phonics assessments to get ready to continue learning how to read. Having a strong base in phonics is so important for children’s literacy development. I’m excited to continue on this journey with them.
Of course, Thursday was the 100th day of school and we had an amazing time. The children had such a great time dressing up, playing with 100 balloons, making a delicious chocolate cake with 100 M&Ms on it, and simply being proud that they counted all the way to 100!
Many of the children really enjoyed the cake and asked me to pass on the recipe. This is my go-to chocolate cake that I make whenever I want to impress the recipient or just have a delicious treat at home. The recipe comes with instructions for making a chocolate ganache easily from melted chocolate chips, but as you can see from our photos, we used white frosting (Betty Crocker) which I ordered from Coupang Global. Here is the recipe: https://smittenkitchen.com/2017/10/chocolate-olive-oil-cake/
On Monday we will be beginning our new unit all about the ocean and sea creatures. This unit will take us through till the end of term and I’m very excited to dive into this new learning! So, have a great weekend and rest up. We’ll be in for some excitement Monday!
