Penguin Day Today!

Fun day in Kindergarten!



So today was another fun day in Kindergarten. It was Penguin Day where the kids got to learn all things penguin related. They made penguins and penguin cupcakes (Recipe Follows) and watched a penguin movie...unfortunately there was a cliffhanger and we have to resume on Tuesday.


On a side note Lorraine and I slipped out of the classroom when the kids were at lunch recess and took a quick trip to My Delight Cupcakery in Ontario for a yummy Samoa Cupcake. I also picked up Chocolate Salted Almond Caramel & Carrot Cake. My Samoa was sinful! YUM. Need to go back tomorrow!


OK, back to penguin day. We had a super great day spending it with the kiddos. They really enjoy building their own snacks and are really getting used to frosting things. Such pros!

Penguin Cupcakes
White Cupcake
White Frosting
Chocolate Chip Morsels
Orange Mini M&M's
Keebler Grasshopper Cookies
Goldfish

Really this recipe is all about assembly. White cupcakes (in white wrappers of coarse) frosted with white frosting. Take two Grasshopper cookies and cut them in half. Eat one half. Place the other half on top of cupcake for the head and the two remaining halves are now the wings of the penguin. Dip chocolate chip morsels and mini M&M's in the frosting and place on top of cookies for the eyes and nose. Place the Goldfish into frosting and VIOLA! Penguin Cupcakes! Our Kindergartners LOVE Food Crafts!


I just love Kindergarten!


Until Next Time, SoCal Marisa
