The Bakery is Open

We quickly got back to business this week by working together to create a classroom bakery.  The children were all involved in some way in getting this center up and running quickly, whether it was printing letters on a sign, creating artwork to decorate the new center or helping to plan the layout of the furniture. 

Thanks to the many families who have already donated some materials to our bakery center.  The children are having a great time engaging in play at this center!

Next week we will be reading different versions of the story "The Little Red Hen" as it relates to the idea of baking.

This is a list some of the children created of the things we would need for the baking center.  They used their "best guess spelling" to sound out the words.  

We came up with some words that related to the "bakery" and printed them on word cards. 

A popular part of the play is working the cash register.  The children love using the play money!

We have incorporated the use of play dough into this center too!
