There's an exciting book coming to the music room...sometime...
"Baking Day at Grandma's" has been a favorite at our house since Elyza received the book from Imagination Library. From almost the first read, there's been a melody in my head that I'm super excited to share with students, along with other fun, musical activities inspired by the text.
This photo is the recipe at the end of the book, which we are hoping to try this week. If we do, I'll update you on how it turns out. It might be perfect for Valentine's Day!
