Home School started at our house this week
I know many people are finding themselves in a new roll as a teacher
I am really proud of HHjr,
he is taking his new role very seriously…
I’m now calling him “the Principal”
He is tough!
2nd grade English lessons and alphabet practice are being done “Flintstone” style
writing with a stick in the sand
Math involves counting and grouping numbers using the driveway rocks
I am so proud and grateful for the dedicated teachers in our country
sending lesson plans and learning activities to the parents to keep the students learning
School at the beach is lots of fun!
Big E’s brother, Superboy is in 5th grade and he is writing essays,
typing them on my laptop and emailing them to his teacher
She has also set up a virtual classroom
where the students can interact and upload pictures and videos
With only a short snack break mid morning, they can get all their work done by noon
leaving the afternoon for free play and art
They are doing so well, I decided to make them an after school treat!
If you have a can of sweetened condensed milk and some flavored chips in your pantry
You can whip up a delightful sweet treat
This is a version of the classic 7 layer bars,
Instead of graham crackers,
I used an almost out of date bag of potato chips I found in the pantry
Snip the corner of the bag to release the air
and then crush them right in the bag
Melt butter in the microwave in a 9″ x 13″ dish
Spray the sides of the dish with cooking oil spray
Add the crushed chips, toss them around to coat
and pat into an even layer
I put the M & Ms in next,
they tend to crack during baking so this way the cracks won’t show
Add the chocolate and butterscotch chips {or any flavors you have}
Slowly pour the sweetened condensed milk over all and bake until set
This is how mine looked after 25 minutes,
set, but chocolate hadn’t melted enough so I put it back in the oven for 10 more minutes
Chill thoroughly before cutting into bars or squares
A sweet treat for any age!
