Tortilla day!

This week we have been discussing the book "Big Moon Tortilla". Our theme is "Conflict Resolution". In the story, the little girl, Marta, is doing her homework when she smells tortillas cooking. She rushes to get one and knocks over the table where she is doing her homework and a whole series of terrible events begin. Her homework is blown out the window, the dogs chew it up, and she steps on her glasses and breaks them! We discussed the problem or the conflict in the story and then we talked about how the girl's grandmother helps her solve the problem. To finish out our week, we made tortillas. The kids had a blast! It was a sticky messy mess and I will do it differently next year! (Live and learn - right?) Our tortillas turned out to be a big thick lump of dough, but with some butter, honey, and cinnamon they were edible! Here are some pictures!
