Making Butter

We have been reading the Little House series in our classroom, and discovering what life was like without electricity, grocery stores, and cars. One of the books discussed churning butter, and the kids were very surprised that you could actually make your own! Many of them are interested in this experiment to do at home. If you're willing, here is a short video with instructions! Have fun!

Our visit to the MSU Butterfly House was a success! Thank you to all of the parent chaperones who came along and led our groups through the gardens; the kids have been talking non-stop about our field trip! I have many pictures to share from this event, and will be sending them either in a private link, or on a CD at the end of the year. To ensure privacy of all students, I am not able to post them in the blog. Thank you for your understanding!
