Did you know that pretzels were originally made by a monk, and stood for the praying hands (they use to pray with their hands crossed over their chest). And did you also know that they were eaten during Easter time??? Well, we read an awesome story by Eric Carle yesterday called Walter the Baker....now, it didn't tell us the REAL story of pretzels, but it told a pretty awesome story. Then we talked about how people use to eat pretzels during Easter....so we just had to make them and eat them ourselves. I think we should open a bakery, because your kids make some awesome food! They made their pretzels, they kneeded the dough, they let it rise and punched it down, they rolled it out and formed it into the pretzel shape, they boiled their pretzels (with some help from Mrs. Mason, of course!), we baked the pretzels, and then we ate them....and they tasted so good!
