Yesterday B and I had the pleasure of helping with the Little Red Hen activities in P's Kindergarten class. We took in ears of Indian corn and our hand crank corn grinder.
The kids planted some of the corn and read the story The Little Red Hen.
They had fun shelling the corn and then going through all the steps to make Little Red Hen Bread. They each got a turn to turn the crank to grind the corn, then everyone helped add the ingredients and stir the batter. They even put a little cream in to baby food jars and shook them up to make their own butter to spread on the corn bread.
We had a great snack after recess! I was so busy helping that I didn't get many pictures.
I think the kids had a really fun day. There were corn kernels EVERYWHERE and it was also "pajama day"!! Fridays in kindergarten aren't called Fun Filled Friday for nothing.
