Churn, Churn, Churn
We made homemade butter with the 2nd and 3rd grade class today. First we put some heavy cream into a glass jar with a tight fitting lid. Then we shook it and shook it until small curds formed. We poured off the buttermilk, added salt and shook it some more until a ball of butter formed. Their teacher, Mrs. Madison brought homemade cinnamon bread for them to spread their butter on. Yummo! Mrs. Grossner brought popcorn balls to symbolize the importance of corn to the early settlers. The students made American flags to hang from the ceiling. George Washington would have approved :-) A caveat to those with heart disease...please use Promise or I Can't Believe It's Not Butter. We want to keep you around for a long, long, time!

This was one of my favorite activities to do with my students for Laura Ingalls Wilder Day!
