The cow jumping over the moon: Baseball Week! Go Tigers!!

Wow!! We had a busy week learning about baseball! Since baseball season started, I thought we would have a baseball themed week. It was quite successful..

To start off baseball season, we made tiger handprints last week!

Here's a look at everything that we did this week:

Sunday:
We made baseball pancakes and baseball cookies both from scratch!! Both recipes are on my blog!

Monday:
Because it was Opening Day, and the Detroit Tigers started playing today, we dressed in our Tiger gear and ate orange and blue pancakes for breakfast! They were delicious! I used the same recipe as the baseball pancakes too.

Tuesday:
We made baseballs using paper plates and red ribbon. I have a separate blog in this too. This was an excellent fine motor activity. We also colored the letter "B" for baseball. The original coloring page can be found on www.classbrain.com

Here is the how to on my blog:

Friday:
We made baseball using paper plates and red construction paper. I cut two long pieces on red construction paper and lots of little skinny short pieces to represent the stitching. Harry then glued them on to make his own baseball.
