So I told her that she could earn a cupcake badge! She was SO excited about it. The goals to earn the badge were that she needed to read a book (or I read it to her), make cupcakes, and write a report. She did all of these things really well and I think that there was alot of good learning that happened! I was happy about that because this was a test to see if my idea for next years school will work. Here is what we did for our cupcake badge:
Bunny did almost all of the work of making cupcakes alone!
After that we learned about the 1 cup, 1/2 cup, 1/4 cup, and the 1/3 cup!
I also taught her about a teaspoon and tablespoon!
We also experimented with the different measures in some beans!
She frosted them by herself too. This was tricky for her. I think I see a work in this! :)
Here is the finished cupcake, topping and all!
The frosting was a strawberry buttercream and was amazing!
And here is her report!
I am really proud of her! I think she did a great job, and now we are both really excited to start our year with this new plan! I cant wait share it with you all, but you will have to wait a day or two till I get it all together! Stay tuned!
What a sweet post! :) I really like how you implemented all of the activities. Great ideas! Thank you so much! BTW, I LOOOOVE cupcakes!!!
