Streusel French toast


What a delicious treat we had last Friday! The students all helped and prepared the recipe for our Streusel French toast we baked!
The teachers retyped the directions and ingredients in a simple format to help the children practice reading. 
These are some of the key words we focused on learning and sounding out.  You can practice at home with your child:
  • For
  • The
  • Put
  • Of
  • In
  • Mix
  • End
  • A
  • At
The students were soooo good at cutting the strawberries on their own, they didn't need any help from us! They cut up two boxes of strawberries!







The children also used a measuring cup which they have been learning about in the cooking/dress up area.  When they play in the cooking area, they measure out beans or uncooked pasta using the measuring cup to help familiarize themselves with the measurements.
 Some measurements/fractions we are trying to remember and practice:
  • ¼
  • ½
  • ¾
  • 1 cup



 We also talked about these details because they were included in our recipe:

  • 8 oz.= 1cup
  • Teaspoon
  • Tablespoon



Aside from the reading and measuring, we focused on cleanliness and safety in the kitchen.  And in the end, we had a delicious, healthy treat right out of the oven for our afternoon snack!

Yummmmmmmmmy!


The children LOVED this treat! :)  We have the recipe in our cookbook in class for anyone who is interested!
