J is for Jungle

The kids worked so hard today! Our theme this week is The Jungle so it was the perfect opportunity to make Monkey Bread!

We read over the recipe, collected the ingredients and rolled up our sleeves. We learned that dipping bread dough into melted butter made it feel slimy and that cinnamon sugar kind of feels like sand. We also learned that when it's all baked together it tastes YUMMY!


Bryn asked if she could eat as many as she wanted.

Why is it called Monkey Bread?


We practiced writing big "J" and little "j" on the chalkboard. Then we colored a silly monkey with a tail that made a "J" on the branch.

Each monkey was colorful and unique!

We had a great discussion about all the different animals that live in the jungle and even practiced making some animal sounds.

Bryn was so excited to have the recipe for monkey bread, so we made it a few days later. I made my own dough and she told me I was doing it wrong!
