Yummy Peanut Butter and Jelly

Explicit Instruction/Teacher modeling

• Ask your students to make the letter S sound and to offer examples of words that begin with S.
• Suggest the word sandwich.
• Ask your class different ways that they could make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

Guided Practice

• Demonstrate how students can make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, referring to the recipe worksheet.
• Take out the materials.
• Say the steps out loud as you make the sandwich.
• Ask students what you did first, second, third, and fourth.
• Briefly discuss knife safety.

Independent working time

• Have 4 stations set up for students to each make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich (or just a jelly sandwich if there are allergies).
• Give instructions on how students are to move through each station to make their sandwiches.
• Separate your students into small groups. Put bread and paper towels at station 1, peanut butter and knives at station 2, and jelly at station 3.
• Discuss how the sandwich tasted, encouraging them to use descriptive language.
