If you give a cat a cupcake...

I love this story and so does my class.

It is so much fun and the PURRRRRfect activities accompany it in this packet.

Look at the cute cupcake for decorating and putting their birthday on.

We even made class cupcakes and decorated them.

(I made the cupcakes at home and brought in frosting.)

Following the decorating and eating we wrote...If you give a student a cupcake!!

Then to fit with our "how to" writing we wrote about making cupcakes.  You will love their responses.

Then there are a number of sequencing, cause and effect, and even some describing the different settings in the story.

There are 12 colorful vocabulary cards for posting and word work activities.

The craft is so cute.  I also added a page topper to decorate their writing.

Besides the how to stories there are sequencing stories for the students with a class book cover and 3 differentiated final write pages.

If you give a pig a pancake or a party

I bet she can't eat just one!!

My class had so much fun with this.

We actually had parent helpers come in and we made yummy pancakes.

Each child got a little Bisquick in a plastic cup and a spoon.

We added a little milk and then the stirred.

I had an electric frying pan in the classroom and poured, fried, and flipped each child's pancake.

MMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmm

Then we experimented with toppings and collected data.

But this packet is extra special because it covers two stories.

This pig also has a party!!

I think the crafts are adorable.  One for the party and one for the pancakes.

I love that you give a student a donut.

What will happen?

We made our own donuts using canned biscuits in the refrigerator section and an electric frying pan.

We heated oil in the frying pan.  Poked a hole in the biscuit, and dropped it in.

Cook, flip, and lay on paper towel to soak up oil.

In paper bags have powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar.

FROST if like.

Mmmmmm!

If you give a moose a muffin...

You class will love imagining a MOOSE eating a MUFFIN.

And what if they were given a muffin?
