Memorial Day Week

We didn't have anything special planned for monday this week since I did not see the kids due to Memorial Day.

Reading Tuesday


After swim class I read this book to Jackson during pencil time and he did a comprehension worksheet afterwords. Then did a few other worksheets. 

Cooking Wednesday

Cooking Activity: Pepperoni Roll-ups
Items You Will Need: 1 tube (8oz.) refrigerated crescent rolls, 16 slices pepperoni, cut into quarters, 2 pieces string cheese (1 oz. each) cut into quarters, 3/4 tsp italian seasoning, divided, 1/4 tsp garlic salt.

Pictures:







Directions:

1a. Unroll crescent dough, separate into eight triangles. 
1b. Place eight pepperoni pieces on each. (we did however many they wanted)
1c. Place a piece of cheese on the short side if each triangle; sprinkle with 1/2 tsp Italian Seasoning. (Since George thinks pepperoni is to spicy we shook them up with the Italian Seasoning and Garlic mixture. We also found it easier to sprinkle the seasoning mixture on the crescent rolls before putting anything else on.)

2a. Place 2 inches apart on greased baking sheet.
2b. Bake 375* for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Serve Warm.

We also had our yummy vegetable with these.


THE KIDS LOVED THEM! (George is VERY picky)
