The five day children in Room 4 have been honing their reading and
fractions skills through advanced Practical Life food prep. The last few
weeks we have been making Trail Mix and Granola, and we have more fun recipes
to come. After washing their hands, the children read the recipe, measure
the correct amount of each ingredient, and then mix everything together.
With the granola, the children had the opportunity to measure wet ingredients
too, such as honey, vanilla, and butter. The children do this
independently, measuring everything by themselves – this provides the
opportunity for older reading students to help younger not-yet reading
students. The children have requested I include the recipes so they can
make these treats at home. The recipes are for one to two servings.
Trail Mix
1/3 cup cheerios
1/3 cup pretzels
1 Tbs. raisins
1 tsp. crasins
½ tsp. chocolate chips
Mix together and enjoy!
Granola
½ cup oats
1 tsp. raisons
1 tsp. crasins
1/8 tsp. cinnamon
¼ tsp. vanilla
2 Tbs. honey
1 (scant) Tbs. butter
Mix together and eat with yogurt. (You can bake if you like but we did
not).
