Snazzy Snacks

Two years ago in second grade I added an awesome project called

"Snazzy Snacks". What a huge hit!

A big thank you to Christina Bainbridge for allowing me to borrow this idea! Once a month we will be practicing our handwriting and math skills in the form of a recipe. We will not only neatly write a recipe for a fun snack, but we will have the opportunity to make the snack and enjoy it, too! The snack will relate to our unit of study for the week or season of the year. What a fun way to practice handwriting and use our math skills, especially this year when we learn CURSIVE! How yummy! Thank you, Amanda Madden for the file of "peanut-free" snack recipes! A big thank you to Staci Sharp for her recipe card! We love it!

We will add pictures of our snacks to this page as we make them!

2009 October Snazzy Snack

What are the snack recipes that we will use?

I've collected the following recipes from other teachers and adapted them for my classroom. Thank you Christina Bainbridge for this file of Snazzy Snack Recipes and to Amanda Madden for a peanut-free set of Snazzy Snack Recipes!

What is the procedure for the Snazzy Snack period in the classroom?

The students rewrite the recipe in their neatest handwriting (printing, until all cursive letters have been learned). Thanks to Staci Sharp for creating this recipe card for students to record the recipes on! Once the recipe has been written, students get to follow the directions in their recipe to create the snack. Then, while eating the snack, they continue to practice the cursive letter learned that day.

What do you do with the recipes the children wrote?

All recipes are collected and kept in the classroom. At the end of the year, each student will bind his/her recipes into a book to keep. The book will provide them with a way to see their handwriting progress and also a wonderful keepsake of fun recipes!
