This week in our STEM class, we explored the science behind making butter 🧈! Students learned how shaking heavy cream causes the fat molecules to separate, eventually turning into delicious homemade butter.

Each student took turns shaking the jar, observing every stage of transformation- from liquid cream to whipped foam to solid butter! It was the perfect mix of science, movement, and fun! Of course, the best part was tasting their own butter creations at the end!

Picture Retake Day is coming soon! Retakes will be on November 13. If you wish to have your chid's picture day, please make sure that their classroom teacher is aware.

There have been some changes made to the menu choices at the Bulldog Cafe in November. Please see the attached images for these updates.
