We made Butter!

First grade has been learning all about Pilgrim children and their chores. Part of their chore were tying the bundles of wheat, cleaning the animal pens, churning butter, serving meals, collecting eggs from the chickens, etc. We compared our lives today to those of the Pilgrim children. We all agreed things are a lot easier today!
To get a feel of putting in hard work in order to get our food, the children made butter! We poured heavy cream into a container and everyone had to shake it for a while. When it was ready, we spread it on crackers and enjoyed a tasty treat! After, the children went back to their desks and made pictures of a chore the Pilgrims did and wrote a sentence about it.
