I’m making cupcakes!


Ms. Szymaszek’s Classroom Investigations:
I’m making cupcakes!
September 18, 2012






In a continuing exploration of cooking and baking, the children explored with clay and a muffin tin.  The children rolled out the clay, and then put the clay inside the muffin tin.  The children used a wooden spoon to push the clay into the tray.  During clean up time, one of the children was concerned that the “muffins” would not come out of the tray.  Using the same wooden spoon, she scooped the clay out of the tray, and counted the number of “muffins” she cooked.  “I’ve got 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9!  9 muffins!”
