Frogs on a Log

Ingredients

• 3 large stalks celery
• Raisins
• Peanut butter or Almond Butter

Directions: 
Cut celery stalks into smaller sizes. Spread peanut butter or almond butter on celery. Then place as many raisins (frogs) on the celery (logs) that your heart desires.

This snack would be great for story time with The Wide Mouth Frog book! Or any book with frogs. 
*You burn more calories eating celery than the celery actually has!

2. Kindergarten will have graduation pictures made as they come to clean out their desks.
3. Students will turn in their devices during this time unless they are taking dual credit courses (Elementary to their teacher and JH/HS on a table near the bookroom)
4. Teachers will have sacks with end-of-the-year awards to hand out to students (JH/HS will pick theirs up outside of Mrs. Branch's room)
5. We will be monitoring the number of people coming in and out of the building while maintaining social distancing.

Baked Pancakes

• 3 Tablespoons coconut sugar
• 2 cups spelt flour
• 3 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 2 - 4 tablespoons butter (melted)
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x13 baking dish with non stick spray. 
2. Mix together the sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a larger, bowl mix together the milk, eggs, melted butter, then stir the flour mixture into the milk mixture, just until combined. The batter will be a bit lumpy.
4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, until edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
5. Allow it to cool for about 5 minutes, then cut into squares and serve with your favorite toppings.

*If you want blueberry or strawberry pancakes make sure to put them into the pan first then pour your batter on top. If you are using frozen fruit make sure it is thawed and drained first.

With students at home and on devices, parents might be wondering if the apps their children are using are safe. A great place to check out if these apps are worthwhile is Common Sense Media.  Parents can search apps here: https://www.commonsensemedia.org/app-reviews.
​While we at GCSD are by no means experts on these apps, we've recently had some parents express concern over the availability of chatrooms to young children through the FarmVille and FarmVille 2 apps.  We simply wanted to pass along a note to parents regarding these apps as we know many of our young students use them.
Besides appropriate apps, Common Sense Media also has recommendations for movies, TV shows, and books along with information parents need to know to keep their children safe online.

Tortilla Pizzas

• 3-4 Spelt Flour Tortillas

6. Cook in oven for about 10 minutes. (Until cheese is fully melted and edges look crispy)
