Letter C – Chocolate cupcakes
Chocolate cupcakes for ‘C’ week seemed like the perfect fit for our tea party as we read about Coco the Caterpillar, from Animals in Time, who witnessed the Boston Tea Party. We had a day under the trees with a story of Coco and a paper puppet show to accompany the story. They took old tea bags and emptied them into a wooden “crate” for an aromatic experience. 🙂 What you can’t see in the pictures is the table of cranberry tea and platter of cucumber and carrot slices. Oh yeah, and a group of neighbor friends joined us! They made feather headbands to honor those who disguised themselves and took action into their own hands. No tea, thank you! Lastly, they did a bit of map work and narration to put what was learned into words. ‘C’ week is colossal!
