I hope you enjoy!

I don't know about you, but my class definitely had a craving for a luscious cupcake after reading "Thunder Cake" by Patricia Polacco this week.

I planned for this lesson to include some fine motor skills and added the option to spread frosting or using a piping bag to make the cupcakes more decorati

For those of you who know a little bit about me, I teach self-contained accessible education grades K-8th! We have been fortunate enough to have had a student teacher learning in our room for the last 8 weeks.

I made a quick social story for my group to help us adjust to the change of losing a new friend, but trying to help them understand that this is a goodbye for a good reason. <
