A few weeks ago you might remember, Le Roi's Mom and Noni came to make us pancakes! Since then, the kids have been stirring up and serving imaginary pancakes to us and their friends. Many kids were coming in and telling us that they had pancakes for breakfast, and in general there was a lot of pancake chatter! On Thursday at gather time, they came up again. Aiden told us that he had pancakes with chocolate chips in them, and that his Daddy makes good pancakes! We asked the group if we should try making them at school for morning snack. Everyone agreed heartily that this was an excellent idea! So, Friday morning we had a quick gather time. I pulled out my old cook book, and we read the ingredients and how to mix them all together to make our special treat. Here are pictures of the results!
This was a really fun thing to do together! Everyone pitched in to make our delicious snack and it tasted all the better for it! I love it so much when a simple activity unites the entire group! Thanks to Kristin and her Mom coming to share thier pancakes with us, the conversations and play has blossomed into a wonderful regular 'date' for us as a class!
What do you think is happening for the children with an activity like this? What is your favorite thing to put on top of your pancakes? We would love for you to join us!
OK!

Oh, I'm so glad our little treat sparked such fun. In this activity, I see the kids learning to plan, follow a set of instructions, and work together toward a common goal... in a very yummy way! :-)
