Birthday Day

Group Meeting:  Today was October Birthday Day.  The children made their snack and celebrated at snack time.

Story:  Because we had so much going on, we used our Let's Find Out magazine as our story for the day.

Small Groups:  The children got into  small groups to make Baked Oatmeal Muffins for a snack.  One group mixed the oatmeal, baking soda, egg, and milk into a bowl.  One group mashed bananas and another diced apples that would be added to the oatmeal.  The last group assembled the muffin tins and scooped the mixture into the muffin cups.  I've included the recipe below if you'd like to try it. 

Large Group:  The children watched a video about Autumn, read the pages of the Let's Find Out magazine, and completed the last page in the magazine.

Snack:  The children tried the muffins that we had made.  They also had birthday brownies.  The morning class had milk.  The afternoon class had juice.
