Pancakes, Pancakes!

Pancakes, Pancakes! by Eric Carle is a delightful story that provided several fun activities for the students. A farm boy named Jack desperately wants a pancake for breakfast. However, he must go through the tedious process of "naturally" obtaining each ingredient for the pancakes. Below you will see the students getting flour by threshing the wheat and then grinding it into flour. Erin

Pencils and erasers acted as flails for threshing. Everyone was surprised, including the teacher, to see how easily little wheat kernels popped out as the children "beat the wheat!"
