Shake it up!

Today we took an opportunity to write a how-to piece as well as a reflection writing.  The boys sat down and came up with a list of ingredients as well as the equipment they would need to make their shakes.  I told them that we were going to make their shakes exactly to the written instructions.

The boy's found out quickly that they needed to be very specific in their instructions....we did laugh a lot when I tried to follow things like, "Get out a cup, plug it in" or "Shake peppermint, put milk in".

In the end we found that we had to make a few adjustments to our how to instructions.  In the end the boys were very happy with their shakes!
