Potato Day

We read the Lois Ehlert book Eating the Alphabet during circle time.  We also passed a potato around the circle and played hot potato.  Then we each got our own potato and we dipped it in water and washed it and then we tried cutting it up.   They were really hard to cut!!  We put the cut up potatoes in a pot covered with water and we watched as Mrs. Chyko put the pot on the stove and started cooking them!  When they were done we added the butter we made on Wednesday to the potatoes and we each got to mash and eat our own potato!!  

Mrs. Bulgerin came in today and did vegetable prints with the kids for art.  We each made a bowl of vegetable soup using potatoes, celery, and carrots dipped in paint.  We added some rice to the soup too!!

It was extended day so after lunch we walked to the park and had fun playing outside on the equipment.  When we returned we made get well cards for Kate.  We all missed having her in class today!  We hope she feels better soon!!
