Today was a fun day. Not only did the children explore the rubber ramps again, but they also got to do some baking and hear a guest reader read us a book. He donated the book to us, too!
THREE-INGREDIENT BANANA BARS: Here’s some information about the three-ingredient banana bars we made. This is a very simple recipe. I have personally done this with a two-year-old and it went great! The measurements are approximate. We used steel-cut oats, but they were the quick cook kind. I heard all kinds of oats work, but they just make a different consistency of bar. You can add in anything. In fact, as long as you start with bananas and oats, you can pretty much add in anything you want as your third, fourth, fifth, etc… ingredients. If you try out a variation, let us know how it turns out!

GUEST READER: Here is a photo of our guest reader, Dick Robertson (Vice President of Student Services on campus). It was so nice of him to read to us and donate the book!
PROJECT WEB AND STEM/STEAM: We did our web today and hope to have it posted for you soon (once we edit it a bit). The Structures Project is so much fun and involves a tremendous amount of learning in many areas. One area that is particularly highlighted is STEM or STEAM. This stands for science, technology, engineering, (art), and mathematics. “Art” is a new addition to this area of learning and we will certainly be learning a lot about these subjects while we study structures in Room 4!
