Yes your children told you the truth when they said we made ice cream today. And what a perfect September 90 degree day to do so! A lot of shaking, jumping, and moving our bodies around got our ingredients to the right consistency to enjoy a sweet treat today! The students today were very excited to share with you what they made and are excited to possibly make this at home too!
First we showed off what ingredients we needed as we followed the recipe (remember its posted below). As each ingredient was shown off, we described the ingredient, discussed the smell, taste, and even texture of it.
Then we began mixing the ingredients.
Then the fun part! We
got to shake it, jump with it, hop with it, and shake it some more. We began to discuss how the ice felt (warm or
cold) and also were able to feel and see the difference in the milk as it
became ice cream.
And the best part, eating it! We sprinkled some sprinkles on the top and
enjoyed a refreshing small snack to reward ourselves for #1 our jumping and
shaking put to work and #2 an extremely hot September day (made more hot after
all that shaking!)
Delish! We can't wait to hear what special ingredients you add to your homemade ice cream. To think, fresh ice cream in less than 30 minutes and little clean up!
