Fall teachings

We are finishing up our Apple unit this week and I decided to break out the apple, peeler, corer for the kids to "play with". They love this Pampered Chef product. There is really no waste either, which I love. My son eats the peel, which resembles apple spaghetti and the girls love the round slices! It's a little messy if you have a real juicy apple, but they love it.

I was also able to get my son to read "to us" instead of to himself. He likes to read (which I love) and I want him to be able to read outloud as well as he does to himself. He did great. We read "When the Leaf Blew In"....great book!

Today is homeschool Co Op and we will be making Apple Cider! We made some pumpkin cookies and zucchini bread last night to bring to share with the group. Love Fall baking!

Hope everyone has a great day!

You just reminded me I have an apple peeler/corer! Our apple trees had hardly any fruit this year, but maybe next year we'll have more fun with them...

National Chocolate Chip Day

May 15, 2012 is National Chocolate Chip Day Today is National Chocolate Chip Day! Chocolate chips are an essential ingredient in dozens of delicious baked goods—chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip pancakes, chocolate chip muffins, chocolate chip brownies, chocolate chip bagels, and many more. You can even find chili recipes that call for these sweet morsels! In the 1930s, Ruth Graves Wakefield created the original chocolate chip cookie at her Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts. Ruth intended to bake chocolate cookies for her guests, but she ran out of baker’s chocolate. She substituted with chopped up semi-sweet chocolate morsels and discovered that the pieces did not melt into the dough as she expected. Her cookies were an instant hit. Today, 25% of all the cookies baked in the United States are chocolate chip! To celebrate National Chocolate Chip Day, pick up a bag of chocolate chips at the supermarket and bake something yummy to share with friends and cowor
