Pancake Day!

Pancake day is one of my favorite lessons of the year.  

This lesson melds many kindergarten standards together.

Students learn about which animals give food for people:

dairy cows, bees, and chickens.  We talk about how wheat 

is grown and ground into flour. They saw lots of different 

foods that were made with flour. They learn about the tools

for cooking: tablespoon and teaspoon.  They understand

that when cooking you must follow the directions perfectly

or your recipe won't turn out.  We talked about being safe

by electricity and what to do if you get burned.  The best part

was eating the pancake at the end!  The kindergartners did

a great job!
