Our Cooking and Eating Food theme was so much fun! The "Time to Eat" Restaurant was open daily from 8:00 a.m. - noon. During our theme activities, we were able to cook pretend food for our friends, go grocery shopping and increase our knowledge of food vocabulary along the way. We also learned how to communicate our wants by ordering food items from the very experienced chefs who worked in the restaurant.
We also spent time exploring and "cooking" with real food each day. We made bread pizzas, gingerbread cookies, pasta, fruit faces and so much more. I think that our appetite for learning increased dramatically during all of the month's food experiences. :)
We read the stories, Today is Monday, by Eric Carle as well as the story of theGingerbread Man. We sang "Apples and Bananas" and had a lot of fun dancing, stomping and running to the Kindermusik song, "Walk and Stop."
Our favorite activity of the month was playing "hide and seek" with the giant gingerbread cookies in our classroom! Try playing this game at home with another stuffed animal or doll.

Speech Therapy Highlights:
-practicing phrases "Mac is rolling the playdoh" & "Sophie is squeezing the glue."
- Natalie said, "I don't like it" for the green beans/broccoli but "I love it" for jam/toast.
-practicing "is", "under", and "ing" in words
- started really using the word "please" in a cute, pleading voice to everything. "Please, mommy, please, please" (she learned this from Mac at school. It really is the cutest thing)
-independently asking, "do you want ___"
