Butter Making

Dana visited again today! Today she talked to us about respectful and safe field trip behavior for Friday. Then she dressed up a friend from Mrs. Mandigo's class to teach us more about cows.
Yup, he had jersey skin, an udder, ears with a tag to identify him, hooves, eyes on the sides of his head, a snout that was really low, a rough and long tongue, and a fly-swatter tail. Ask your child about the parts of a cow!
After we turned a kid into a calf, we got to make BUTTER! We used heavy cream and shook it up in a jar. Of course there was a song to go with all of that shaking...
 
It was a lot of work, but really worth it! Check out that butter!

 We poured the butter out of the jar and into a strainer. Then we moved the butter around so that the butter milk would separate from our creamy butter.
 After our hard work, we got to drink some apple cider and enjoy our butter on crackers!
