Who loves granola bars?!?! ME!!!!!! Who loves peanut butter?!? Me!!!!! Who loves being able to make your own granola bars with 3 items you most likely already have in your kitchen?!?! Say what?!?! I love to make these up and take them with my family and I to snack on while on road trips!!!! Or to just have as a bit of a sweet treat!!!! 🥰🙌😋

2 cups old fashioned oats
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup peanut butter
Handful of chocolate chips (optional)

Mix all together then pour and press into a dish! Place in refrigerator to help it set up and to hold it's shape when you cut into it!!! That's all, folks!!! 🥰🙌👊👍

At Washington, we often times played a Video of the Day after our recess time as a way for the kids to not only take a mental break from the day, but also to get a few laughs, learn something new or......if we just saw something fun to share!!!! This little girl has the sweetest face and most AMAZING little singing voice! So, here's your feel good video for the day!!!!🤗😊😁

Hi everyone! Mr. Lammers and I want to extend this challenge to you: Every day for 10 days, we will post a different drawing prompt and YOU will try to draw it! We will draw along with you, and we’ll post our drawings to give you some ideas! Today, day one, we want to start out by drawing a “plant friend”! This can be anything that you want it to be. Just do your best! If you want to, post your drawing in the comments. Anyone is welcome to join in on our challenge! We would absolutely love to see anything you come up with. We miss our After-School kids so much, and it would make us so happy to see your creativity! Here are Mr. Lammers and my versions of a plant friend. (Mine’s on the left, Mr. Lammers’ is on the right.) Happy drawing!
