We'll Follow Your Lead Star Lord . . .

I love my classroom. I love my students. AND I love all things Guardians of The Galaxy. So today for cooking we channeled our inner Chris Pratt and made our own version of "Donald Duck" pancakes.  For those of you that have not seen the viral video of Chris Pratt making "Donald Duck" pancakes, I have included the video for you below. (just click on the picture of the pancake) It's an absolutely adorable video of Chris Pratt trying to convince his son that the pancake he just made is Donald Duck.  

 As a small group, we first talked about how there are so many different jobs.  Mrs. Harding is a teacher. Chris Pratt is an actor.  The students watched a clip of Chris Pratt as Star Lord and as Owen, from Jurassic World. Then, I told the students that he is also a dad that likes to make pancakes.  The students watched Jack respond to the Donald Duck pancakes.  They all agreed with Jack that the pancake did NOT look like Donald Duck.

After watching the videos, we all brainstormed our ideas
for pancake making. My students were so excited to get started.  As always, the students organize the ingredients and supplies.  We then read the recipe together and take turns pouring, measuring, and mixing the ingredients.

After making the pancake batter, we were ready to take turns and make our designer pancakes.  Below is a video of my students proudly sharing their ideas for their pancakes.  (And, unfortunately for them, I was the one to guide/help them.)  EEK!

When we were all done eating our pancakes, the students wrote down 3 clues to describe there pancakes.  We will be hanging these pictures up in the hallway with the clues to see if Whiteford students can guess each pancake.  

Well . . .are our pancakes good? bad? or a bit of both? ;)
Tell us what you think!
