After finished all 6 Mercy Watson books, and 2 Tales from Deckawoo Drive, our class decided to have a buttered toast party to celebrate. For those who haven't read these books, toast with a great deal of butter on it is Mercy's favorite treat. In fact she likes anything that has butter on it; popcorn, butter candies, you name it!
The buttered toast was delicious! It made the perfect afternoon snack to go along with our readers' workshop. You may even notice that some students are rereading the books on their own now.
Rather than just buying bread and butter from the store, we decided to make our own butter. It was super easy. All we did was fill a jar with heavy cream, salt, and one marble to help with the mixing. Then we took turns passing the jar around and shaking as hard as we could. Within 5 minutes we had delicious creamy butter!
