First Grade
First graders learn how to help in the kitchen
On Friday , September 3, first graders in Cynthia Bailie's class learned how to make butter. The class had been reading the book Little House in the Big Woods and learned about how the main character, Laura, helped her Ma churn butter.
The butter making process was simple: heavy whipping cream was placed in a container, and each student shook the container for twenty seconds. At the end of the process – about ten minutes – the class had butter! A pinch of salt was added, and the students sampled their work with a yummy snack of butter spread on crackers. The students also sampled the buttermilk that was created from the process.
