Week 5 of the session has almost finished!

As we wrapped a week of fun, we learned how to make puppy chow a dessert with peanut butter, chocolate and powered sugar. It was a little messy to make, but very fun! We shook it up, listened to some Taylor Swift to get us in the mood and had a little dance party in the parking lot.

MESLS is all about trying new things and the puppy chow was just the start! We learned how to make a type of Indian bread on Thursday and Friday we took a train ride through Wisconsin to see the leaves changing colors. Mac and Cheese was had by all and with our bellies full and our cameras full of pictures, we can officially say MESLS had some serious fun!

Birthdays, Learning and Baking 

This has been a very busy week at MESLS! We have celebrated 3 birthdays: 2 students and a future MESLS teacher! We are very excited to help our students celebrate their birthdays, especially when it involves cake :)!

We also had fun taste testing colas and peanut butters to see which was better when we didn't know the brands. It was so much fun that even Poom, the director, taste tested!

We learned how to make cakes in mugs in the microwave :O! We said no oven...no problem!

We always have fun at MESLS, but this week was extra fun!

MESLS Week 3: Wonderful Wednesdays!

Wednesday might be the middle of the week, but we sure know how to have fun at MESLS!

This week we started to watch Tron: Legacy, which was so suspenseful! But to help cut the suspense we made 3 kinds of rice Krispy treats! Everyone learned how to make them and everyone really enjoyed eating them!

Wonderful Week 2 at MESLS!

This has been an exciting week at MESLS. We welcomed a new student! She is getting used to her new school and all of the students!

Yesterday, Wednesday, we watched a movie and enjoyed some delicious popcorn. Next week we will watch another fun movie and maybe try a different American snack.

Welcome back to school!

It is unofficially the start of fall. The leaves haven't started to change colors yet, but the smell of freshly sharpened pencils is in the air. All students are back to school including MESLS students. Welcome to our new students and returning! We are excited to make this fall great!
