Making butter like the pioneers

We're reading "Little House in the Big Woods" by Laura Ingalls Wilder to complement our Nelson Literacy theme "Early Settlers". In the chapter we read yesterday, Laura described the butter making process. So, today we gave it a go ourselves! It turned out deliciously!! It tasted scrumptious on fresh bread from the Quick Stop. Mmmmmmmmmmm!!

We're going to try collaborating on a presentation about some similarities and differences between our lives and the lives of the pioneers.  We're amazed at what life was like for people about 175 years ago!
