What can you learn by making a mug cake together? LITERACY, of course. We read the recipe--or we see someone reading the recipe. We see literacy in action. We see the value of being able to read. But we also practice:
HYGIENE: we all wash our hands before beginning.
WORKING TOGETHER: we all take turns stirring the cake batter and decorating the cake.
FINE MOTOR SKILLS: necessary for writing. (See how carefully we decorate with these tiny stars!)
PATIENCE: we have to wait while the cake bakes.
TAKING TURNS/SHARING: we all get a taste of the cake we helped make.
We also have the SATISFACTION OF A JOB WELL DONE!
