Patty cake, patty cake, baker's man

We had so much fun learning about 
different jobs this week. 
The majority of my class are boys and they learned the words 
fireman and policeman
 very fast because those are their favorites. 
I wanted to spend a lesson focusing 
on the word baker because 
they could not easily remember it. 

Today we colored baker hats, ate bread, and played with "dough". 
The dough turned out very sticky because there
is no cream of tartar in China which is usually needed
for homemade play-doh. 

In Chinese the word for bread is 
Miànbāo 
(*mee-en bow*- pronounced like "take a bow" not the bow you put in your hair). 
They were so cute and loved making a mess. 
I just had to share it.
