The cookies begin...

Owen got his layers in order and started sewing his X...
Veronica was working incredibly fast!
Now, she's ready to sew around the edges...
Elias, I love all those reds!
The cooking group was rolling the cookies into balls..then making an indention in the center (a 'thumbprint' to put the jam in)...
Mr. C was helping Bevin measure for her first cut!
Jennifer wasn't able to come today because her sister was in labor with a baby boy cousin for Jayce and Evan...so Jayce's dad came instead! (and Evan, of course!)
Jim finally has Jaya in his group! Kathryn and Athena were getting assistance from him, too.
Tim was helping Kai and Jayden measure their boards...

Jaya and Kathryn...have their heads together to figure this wood-thing out!

More cookies were ready for the oven! Oh boy!!! Aarin and Breanna shared the responsibility for carrying one of the cookie sheets to the kitchen..
Lacie carried another sheet...
There they go...............
Of course, we have to clean up! Kenneth and David are impressed with the kitchen's sink. Dusty is making sure they keep the water in the sink!
Ms. G opened the oven so Breanna could put the cookies in...although, if I remember right, Breanna ended up giving the cookie sheet to Ms. G to put in the oven...it WAS very hot!
I love pictures like this! Tim was showing Kai how to hold the wood and work the saw at the same time....
while Mr. C was showing Jayden how to work the big drill...
Athena, Jim, and Jaya...
Evan...what a little sweetheart! He's SO good every time he comes. He usually has a car, truck, train, airplane, helicopter.... he's all boy!
One of the things about the Friday groups, Room 5ers look forward to each one.
Everyone was here, so I thought it would be a great day to take a big group picture. I asked Jayce to come stand out in the field so I could see if the light was good...
It was...so we got everyone together for a photo. I'll post them separately.
The cookies came out of the oven...
The woodworking group started finishing up...
the cooking group was preparing to serve...
When recess was over, we each got 3 cookies~ I really couldn't tell much difference between the two recipes...they were both DELICIOUS!!!
Another successful Friday group! It's hard to believe we're already in our last rotation!
