Arctic Unit | Tot School Week 14

Playing catch up on blog posts! We covered Arctic week 3 weeks ago. I wasn't super expectant that it would be that special, but I was wrong! She thoroughly enjoyed it and was so interested in the topic. It helped that Wild Kratts released a few new episodes covering Arctic animals on PBS.

The books we checked out were mostly covering specific arctic animals. There are many more, but these she showed a special interest in.

 We did a few activities and worksheets. Her favorite was finding the height and width of each arctic animals and then using a measuring tape to draw how big that actually would be. We used white paper taped together to make it more realistic. We also did a very simple sensory bin of cotton balls and Arctic animal figurines she had on hand. Later on I found her collecting any and all arctic animals she owned and lining them up. She added a tiger to it and I asked her if he belonged there. She responded yes, he's a Siberian tiger. She taught me something new!


This week we also went on several bundled up walks and visited the dentist. After a great report we celebrated with Coldstone ice cream.


Her memory verse this month is God has given a son to us. Isaiah 9:6.

Single Serving Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

 I had a few hours to myself today and decided to search for a good single serving chocolate chip cookie recipe. I found one by cookingclassy.com and thankfully it turned out so great! It was similar to the taste and size of Crumbl Cookies chocolate chip cookie (they are my favorite!) The dough is a very crumbly consistency so I recommend once you have your baking sheet lined with parchment paper to just dump it on top and form it into a large disc. I had a hard time trying to get the dough to come together so I opted to do this instead. See the recipe below! Ingredients: 2 TBSP butter (I used unsalted) 3 TBSP packed light-brown sugar. 1 pinch of salt. 1 TBSP whisked egg (crack egg in bowl and mix up well then scoop out 1 TBSP and add to your bowl.) 1/4 tsp vanilla. 1/3 cup all purpose flour. 1/8 tsp baking soda. 3-4 TBSP chocolate chips.  Recipe: Melt butter in microwave until only a little left is unmelted. mix together so that all is melted. Place butter in fridge to cool s...

Simple Chicken Tortilla Soup Recipe

 My husband found this recipe a couple months ago and made it on a gloomy Saturday. It's been in my head to make it again with leftover chicken and this week I decided to do just that! I try and stretch a whole chicken to 3 meals since we can get one chicken from Walmart for under $6. It makes for a very budget friendly week of groceries when we do this. The last time we had a whole chicken my husband also saved the broth and that's the broth I used to make this soup. It was SO flavorful! The original recipe comes from All Recipes and I will link it HERE , but I did switch it up and exclude a few things.  Enjoy! Ingredients: 1 onion, chopped. 3 cloves garlic, minced. 1 TBSP olive oil. 2 tsp chili powder. 1 (28 oz) can crushed tomato. 1 (10.5 oz) can chicken broth (or homemade). 1 1/4 cups water. 2 cans whole kernel corn, drained. 2 cans black beans, drained and rinsed. 1/4 cup cilantro, plus extra for garnish. 2 cups shredded chicken, cooked.  Corn muffins or tortilla chi...
