Celebrating Michaelmas -September 29, 2016

10/9/2016

On Michaelmas, we celebrate bravery, strength, and courage by reading stories about dragons and brave knights and princesses.

First, we baked dragon bread -to be slayed and gobbled up later that day.

Then, we made dragon soup for dinner. Sophie chopped the carrots.

Ethan peeled and chopped the potatoes.

Audrey peeled and chopped the beet.

And we all stirred the pot.

We painted watercolor crowns.

Our Brave Little Knights

Each knight takes his or her turn to slice and slay the dragon for dinner.

We drew and painted our own dragons too!

Sophie helps roll out the cinnamon roll dough.

Sophie stirs the ingredients for pancakes with both hands at the same time. She thought that was funny.

Baking makes Sophie happy!

We celebrated the first day of fall with a fall nature hike and warm apple cider. We were on the lookout for nature "treasures". We brought our treasures home to make fall nature prints with.

We found leaves, twigs, seeds, acorns, and nuts to make beautiful nature stamps.

We added glitter for some sparkle!

Happy Fall to All!

After we read one of our favorite apple books, Apple Pie Tree, we made apple pies in a bowl. First, we peeled and chopped the apples.

Next, we cooked the apples with yummy smelling spices.

Then we put it together. Crushed graham crackers as our crust, spiced cooked apples, and homemade whipped cream on top. YUM!

We painted wet-on-wet watercolor apples too!
