Edible Landforms

For the last two weeks, we have been studying landforms.  I saw on this website (thank you!) that inspired me to use edible landforms as an extension to our standard based learning (who says it has to be boring???).  After using a simple evaluation, the children consistently got pond correct, so I had them create their own pond after viewing this image:

We had so much fun yesterday, we kept going with graham cracker landforms today.  We used chocolate frosting for land, dyed blue frosting for the ocean, chocolate chips for rocks (coastline) dyed green coconut for grass and colored snocaps for mountains (thanks, proteacher!)

I am truly learning, laughing and loving Kindergarten.

Fondly,

Mrs. C.
