We went to library today so your son / daughter should be bringing home a new library book to read with you this evening.

The children really liked the puffed wheat squares that we had yesterday for a snack at Heritage Park so here is the recipe if you would like to make them at home:  

1/4 cup butter or margarine

1/3 cup corn syrup

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 1/2 tbsp.  cocoa

6 cups puffed wheat

Combine butter, syrup, sugar and cocoa in saucepan.  Stir over medium heat until it begins to bubble.  Remove immediately.

Pour over puffed wheat in bowl.  Stir until all puffed wheat is coated.  Press firmly in greased 8 x 8 inch (20 x 20 cm) pan.  Cool.  Let stand awhile to set before cutting.  Cut with sharp knife in 16 squares.

Enjoy!

Today we reviewed everything that we learned yesterday at Heritage Park.

We made lists of the things that we saw and we wrote letters to Miss Erin and Mrs. B. to thank them for teaching us what they knew about life in the early 1900's.

We went on a field trip to Heritage Park today!

This is what some of the children said about Heritage Park:

We went into Mr. and Mrs. Prince's house.  We looked at many artifacts and saw mannequins that looked like the people that would have lived in that house long ago.  

We saw chests in the bedroom.  We think there might be clothes or toys in them. 

We went into the Thorpe's house.  We played with four different toys:

the acrobat, the ball and cup, the buzz saw and Jacob's ladder.

We ate Puff Wheat Squares that Mrs. Watson made.  

They were delicious and we would love to have some more!

We played on the see saw and the swing in the school yard. 

We got our picture taken in front of the school before we got back on the bus to come home.
