Today we celebrated the letter “J” by making jam and having fun with one of our favorite pieces of rhyming literature all about jam. Here’s just a little piece of it.
JAMBERRY

In my canoeberry
Under the bridge
and over the dam
Looking for berries
berries for jam.
We made strawberry jam.
|
|
|
We began by washing the berries.
The children used potato mashers to squish the berries to a pulpy consistency.
 |
The children then squeezed fresh lemon to make their own lemon juice.
They stirred in 1 tablespoon of lemon juice into the strawberries. |
|
 |
Then the children measured and stirred in 2 cups of sugar.
We let the berries, lemon juice and sugar simmer for 5-10 minutes.
WALAA . . . strawberry jam! |
 |
The children spread saltine crackers with their warm strawberry jam.
What a wonderful, tasty treat . . .strawberry jam made from scratch by ROBINS in the kitchen!

Until next week….
