Students got a real treat today! A “colonist” came to talk to them about life during colonial times! She brought in a lot of artifacts for hands-on learning and we made butter!! We ate the butter on a Saltine cracker! The kids were so excited that I think they would prefer crackers and butter over cupcakes! We put Heavy Whipping Cream in a mason jar and students all got a chance to shake and shake until it solidified into butter!

Chase just asked me to get heavy cream so he can shake it and make butter. He said it was the most delicious butter he ever had.
Too cute! Chase said that you had to use the mixer because he got tired of shaking!
