Making Butter

 shaking the jar
look it is getting thicker!

We are loving 'The Phonics Road'. Sophia is on Level 2, Bella on Level 1, I may review it in another post. With Level 2, there is a Literary study that uses 'Little House in the Big Woods' for the year to read and study the English language. Sophia had read most of it on her own already but we re-started it and are doing a lot of writing/dictation and Grammar learning with it. She is flying through it, but we do stop to do some fun activities recommended. This week we 'churned' our own butter with whipping cream, 3 marbles, a plastic jar, and lots of shaking. After it was done David salted it (it was our Saturday project so Daddy got involved), and then we put it in some molds in the fridge. It taste-tested delicious!
