We used ideas from this site and really liked the this page. We just discussed grains and where they come from. Grandparents have a huge wheat farm which we just visited, so we were able to recall the wheat fields and discarded wheat stalks left in fields.

We read our book about grain and making pasta. We lined up our 'wheat' items to talk about sequences and what comes next. Did our coloring sheet and mixed up/put our muffins in the oven.


Made pasta necklaces, made/played with oatmeal play dough. Ate our yummy muffins. Fun preschool. Took two hours.
