While the cupcakes are cooling hears some things to remember…
~TEASPOONS are different than TABLESPOONS
~you SHOULD SHARE with family and friends
~it IS OK if you taste-test
~it is ALWAYS OK to add extra chocolate :)
( not that I did any of these… ha… ha…)
Now it is time to make the whipped chocolate frosting. You will need:
1 pint/2 cups whipping cream
⅔ cup chocolate chips
½ cup powdered sugar
1 to2 tablespoons sugar
Heat the cream in a skillet to a simmer. Add chocolate chips and stir till melted. Refrigerate for 24 hours. Whip for whipped cream, slowly adding powdered sugar and granulated sugar until the frosting reaches a fluffy and spreadable texture. Spread on cupcakes and enjoy! :)

The weather forecast for today is:      It will be a cloudy day with a chance of bacon a nd raining soda. The temperature going to be 34* out and watch out chocolate puddles, the ground is going to be frozen popsicles.  Make sure you wear a coat,  rain boots and an umbella. Be very careful because you don't want to step in th e chocolate.   You might get some luck,  it’s  supposed to become a little warm . Be careful you don't want to get hit by  bacon do you ? We will be having P.E and we are going to be playing 4 square volleyball, I wonder who is going to win ? In science, we learned about matters. It is really fun because we got to guess what we thought were in the cups.

Weekly Update Written By: Kayliana Harris Here is a quick recap of things we have been doing throughout this week. Writing: In writing we have been working on a piece about colonial times. Each student was assigned to a specific job in colonial times. Then, we researched our job and found out as much information as possible on colonial times. We wrote and typed our body paragraphs. Recently, we have been brainstorming ideas for our introduction paragraph. We have not yet wrote it but we are very close. That is what we have been doing in writing. Math : In math we have been working hard on fractions. We have learned how to make an equivalent fraction, simplify a fraction, and how to change an improper fraction into a mixed number (and the other way around). Most recently we have learned how to add and subtract fractions. That is what we are currently doing in math. Social Studies: In social studies we have been learning about colonial times. We are doing a colony simu...
