Subtraction with Regrouping

Hello :), hope you had a great day!

This week my son has been working on subtraction with regrouping.  We are doing up to 3 digit number subtraction. I found a free poster on TPT that explains through a poem what are the steps to take when to decide whether or not to regroup. This poster is very helpful and helped my son to understand the context.

I put together a few subtraction sentences for him to practice.

He also resolved  word problems that I downloaded on TPT, which focused on subtraction with regrouping.

It was a very productive day. These exercises helped my son to improve his understanding in this subject, which made him very confident to even teach me how to resolve the sentences :).


I extended my giveaway until the end of the week, which is August 2nd. To have a chance to win a wonderful prize enter the rafflecopter below please. One lucky winner will win a package with 126 pages about Insect and Spiders. Good luck!!!!!

Chocolate Ganache Cupcake

Tomorrow my little baby is 1 month old :))!!! Awwww, isn't he adorable :))))!!!!!!

To celebrate my son's birthday, big brother and I made chocolate cupcakes today. This is my favorite desert from my wonderful friend Marc Sievers. He is an amazing cook and a fantastic person, always positive and smiley. His food is superb, which I highly recommend you to try. His book "Entertaining with Love" is available at Amazon. You may also check his website for daily updates.

The cupcake recipe that we made today is on his website and book, and its called Rich Chocolate Ganache Cupcakes. 
This recipe is super easy to make and it tastes delicious :). Thanks Marc for this recipe :)))!!!

INGREDIENTS

Batter

Butter – ¼ pound, unsalted, room temperature

Sugar – 1 cup

Salt – ¼ teaspoon

Flour – 1 cup all-purpose flour

Eggs – 4 extra-large, room temperature

Vanilla – 1 tablespoon, pure extract

Cocoa Powder – ¼ cup, unsweetened powder

Chocolate Syrup – 16 ounces

Ganache

Heavy Cream – ½ cup

Chocolate Chips – 8 ounces, semisweet

DIRECTIONS

Batter

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and line a muffin pan (large cups) with paper liners.

Next, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy using an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment.  Add the eggs carefully—1 at a time—and combine thoroughly.  Then, pour in the vanilla and the chocolate syrup and mix well.

For the best results sift together your flour and unsweetened cocoa powder.  Then, gently add the dry mixture to your mixing bowl and mix until just combined (do not over-mix or your cupcakes will be unpleasantly dense).

Next, scoop the batter equally into the muffin cups and bake for 30 minutes, or until just set in the middle.  Do not over-bake the cupcakes.  Let them cool thoroughly in the muffin tin.

Ganache & Assembly

Heat the heavy cream and chocolate chips in a double boiler over simmering water until smooth and warm.  Stir occasionally.  In this step you are melting and heating the mixture, not cooking it as it will burn.

Finally, once the cupcakes have cooled, dip the tops of the cupcakes into the ganache and enjoy!  The ganache will remain soft and creamy and will not set hard.

Do not refrigerate.

Let me know what you think of the recipe please :))). Enjoy!!!!

Granola Bar

Hello :))),

Today I would like to share a delicious granola bar recipe that my son made. This recipe was very easy for him to make. He did it all by himself, I was around only to monitor him and dealing with the oven. I love this recipe because I can add any ingredient and it will always taste great.

Ingredients:
2 cups old fashioned oats
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup flaxseed
1 can sweetened condensed milk
3/4 tsp cinnamon
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup cranraisins
1/2 cup sliced almond
2/4 tsp salt
1 egg beaten
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 tsp vanilla extract

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan, then cover it with a parchment sheet and grease the paper.
 

In a large bowl, mix together the oats, brown sugar, flaxseed cinnamon, flour, cranraisins and salt. Make a hole in the center, and pour in the condensed milk, egg, oil and vanilla. Mix well using your hands. Pat the mixture evenly into the prepared pan.

 

Bake for 30 to 35 minutes in the preheated oven, until the bars begin to turn golden at the edges. Cool for 5 minutes, then cut into bars while still warm. Do not allow the bars to cool completely before cutting, or they will be too hard to cut.

Granola bars are a healthy snack that my son loves to make and eat :))). Let me know what you think about this recipe when you try with your kids please :)). Enjoy!!!!

Thanks!!

Weight

Hello everyone :)))!!! Hope you are all well.


Having a baby in the house is awesome!!!!! I love watching dad and the big brother been melted away by the little one :). My baby is a sweetheart who made us all fall in love with him the minute he was born.
My son is a wonderful brother, he is always willing to help and protect his brother. Every time the baby cries he holds his little hand to make him feel secure :) -  awwwwww!!!! This is definitely going to be a great experience for my son as he is learning to take care of a little baby, as well as being responsible, gentle and careful.

My son is also enjoying his summer break doing loads of outdoors activities with his dad,  whilst studying. This week we have been doing many interesting exercises. The following are examples of the activities he has been doing:

1. wrote the number from 1 to 120;
2. measured 10 objects in the house with inches and cm;
3. read the Bible and wrote 10 facts;
4. found an object in the house that starts with each letter of the alphabet;
5. wrote 5 words for each of the family words: ake, all, ock, ox, eat and ight;

He also studied weight. We made a scale, which we took the model from  kidsactivitiesblog.

Afterwards, we hung it on a chair and measured different types of objects to pratice: as heavy as, heavier than and lighter than. He also completed many exercises to practice weight in his Singapore Math books.

Hope you enjoyed our post. Have a terrific day!!!! Thanks!
