Butter runners?
Churn & burn?
No.
Don’t do this thing.
You shld not do this thing.
I assure you: You can make butter in 4 min by shaking cream & salt in a jar, as I teach kids to do by when we do this #MakeryBakery lesson in the library.
Don’t make sweaty bag butter.

Picture showing the expanse of the library with all of the tables doubled up, tablecloths on top with mixing bowls and large bowls of flour, small bowls of coarse salt and quick rise yeast, plus measuring spoons and measuring cups. In the background is the story corner area and all of the bookshelves.
And so it begins again…
#MakeryBakery
in the Library!
As to other vague posting:
The grocery ingredients are for a #MakeryBakery lesson next Mon (see my old posts w/ that hashtag), in which we teach Gr 2s how make bread and butter in the library as a way to study changing states/chemical changes of matter…more posts on this next week.
(2x4 info today)
Also, Term II:
Gr 2 states of matter sci experiments w/ one class; changing states o’matter #MakeryBakery w/another (bread baking & butter making); force & motion learning + woodworking #ADST/ #STEAM w/ Gr2s; light & sound w/ K & Gr1s; Gr 5 gold rush history guest presenter in the Library. And,more!
Yay! Someone asked.
You nailed it.
Years back, I was weeding the atlases when we did the first #MakeryBakery and I’d forgotten about having something to cover the proofing dough balls…so, atlases. Tradition born. Kept them just for that purpose. Oh, and a pile for strength testing KEVAplank towers.
Let’s start this 🧵 with a Q:
Am I wise?
(as my #LibrarianFashion shirt suggests)
OR,
Am I a wild, misguided loon?
(as bizarro pic suggests)
Context of Q:
Making bread in the library TODAY w/ Gr 2s

A screenshot of the launch screen for the podcast episode that the link will take you to. It shows the launch screen where you can simply hit play and listen to me talk all about #MakeryBakery. The screenshot also has some Apple Pencil circles around some links that are on the page that will take you to sets of pictures of the whole process from beginning to end. Also on the podcast page are links to the lesson plans, recipes and set up plans – also found elsewhere in this thread. And there is a circled link about the “Book Break” that Steve always takes with his guest, where I talk all about The Mona Lisa Vanishes…, a middle grade lit or YA book about the famous theft…
I was a guest—re: #MakeryBakery bread & butter making—on the @schoollibln.bsky.social School Library Learning Network podcast by @drtlovesbooks.bsky.social
Hear how I set up a cooking “demo & do” show w/ kids, make no mess, make artisan bread:

Fri:
Caught up last few kids who needed to saw/sand/paint
(see 🧵).
The rest gridded out initials and began hammering their nails in
(setting up on Storytime/etc carpets absorbs a little of the noise).
Cool to have two dads volunteer with us today! One of those dads also helped w/ #MakeryBakery too!

Got all dressed up today in #LibrarianFashion with my latest Spiffster Club tie & socks…got to school, realized it was #MakeryBakery day.
Luckily, I’m a fastidious baker!
Orange you glad I didn’t get slimed?
The tie has micro penguins; Van Eyck tie knot, almost my signature; oranges on the socks.
I did my #MakeryBakery lesson with Gr2s in the library again today.
Freshly made bread smells wafting through the halls.
Matter Sci: liquids, solids, gases, mixing solutions, chemically changing via heat.
I mentioned my #MakeryBakery lesson was coming up, and here are some photos from yesterday. Bread baking and butter making—in the Library!
Freshly baked bread coming up—in the Lib!
I’ll be reviving my #MakeryBakery Gr 2 makerspace Sci lesson this Friday.
It was exciting to get an email today from another B.C. T-L asking for more info about that exact lesson because my it’s featured in her uni coursework! (prof asked me awhile back)
