Week in Review-Poky Little Puppy

Well this week has been sometimes successful and sometimes not so much. We actually couldn't find the Poky Little Puppy book to read it one day this week. We did do a lot of fun projects however. We made paper plate puppies on Thursday with big floppy ears. They are quite cute!
Saturday we made dairy free rice pudding. Hudson loved it. In fact he has asked to eat it for every meal. (Not that I let him of course).
Hope you all had a charming weekend!



Dairy Free Pudding
2 cups water
1 cup brown rice, rinsed
1 1/4 cups soy milk, rice milk, or other non-dairy milk of choice
1/3 cup raisins
1/3 cup brown rice syrup or maple syrup
1 t. vanilla
1/2 t. cinnamon
1/4 t. ground ginger
1/8 t. ground nutmeg

In a medium saucepan, place the water, and bring to a boil. Add the rice, cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 35 minutes or until all of the water has been absorbed. Add the remaining ingredients, stir well to combine, and continue to cook the mixture over low heat until all of the liquid has been absorbed. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and place the pudding in the refrigerator to chill. Top individual servings with a little additional cinnamon before serving, if desired.

Serves 3-4

Week in Review


What a fun week we have had. As I posted on Monday our home preschool theme was Carrot Soup by John Segal. On Monday we began with a seed experiment. None of the seeds we found in the kitchen have sprouted yet but hopefully will soon.
Tuesday we had a grand adventure painting with vegetables. Celery, carrots, broccoli and potatoes became our paint brushes as we created some very unique place mats. Wednesday we took a break. Our plan was to make Carrot soup that day, but it just didn't happen. Thursday we flipped our place mats over and created a fruits and vegetables collage on the other side. (Craig my husband will be laminating them shortly). Friday we decided to do a tried and true experiment. We cut the end off of some leafy celery and put it in a jar of blue colored water.
Stay tuned for next weeks unit study...
