Day 7: Wheat

Day 7: Wheat



Our book of the day was "Pancakes, Pancakes" by Eric Carle, which is a book about a boy who wants pancakes for breakfast, and one of the tasks he must complete to gather the ingredients is to cut wheat and take it to the miller to be processed into flour...

Another activity today was a matching game, with our "Down on the Farm" farm animal matching cards ...

Our art project today was to make some wheat bread. 
First we cut the wheat...

Then, we glued the wheat pieces to our bread, and last, we added glitter to make our artwork really shine...
