Friday

Wow what a busy day! We had our science quiz this morning to finish off our unit on renewable and non-renewable resources. We then read the story Sir Cumference and the Dragon of Pi to talk about how tomorrow is Pi Day (3.14). Then we made some butter tarts, the children really seemed to enjoy them (as did the staff, yummy!). We finished off the day helping our little buddies celebrate 100 days of school. I hope that everyone has a wonderful break. See you all on March 30th!!

Butter Tart Recipe

1/2 butter 2 eggs 1 cup brown sugar 1/2 coconut 1 cup raisins (I usually soak them first to plump them up, pour boiling water over and let sit) 1 tsp salt 1 tsp vanilla Mix together and fill tart shells 2/3 full. Bake in oven for 450 for 10 minutes then drop the temperature to 425 for 10 minutes.
