Teacher choice book of the week


This week the teachers choice (chosen by Miss Lagan) is Baa Baa Smart Sheep
by Mark and Rowan Sommerset.


Here is a recipe to make your own lemonade to act out Baa Baa Smart Sheep with your friends.





Lemonade

Ingredients
1 cup sugar
5 cups water, divided
6 to 8 lemons (about 1 cup of lemon juice)
Ice

Equipment
Measuring cup
Sauce pan
Knife and board
Lemon juicer
jug

Instructions
Make the simple syrup. Combine the sugar and 1 cup of the water in a small saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer over low heat to dissolve sugar. Once the sugar is completely dissolved, remove from heat to cool.
Squeeze the lemons. Roll each lemon over your cutting board, pressing down as you do. This will help them to release their juice. Cut in half and squeeze. Repeat until you have one cup. You may not need all the lemons.
Combine. Add the cooled syrup to your jug, followed by the lemon juice and the remaining 4 cups of water. Stir. Taste and adjust: add a few tablespoons of sugar if it needs to be sweeter or the juice of 1/2 lemon if it needs more tartness.
