February Is Cultural Awareness Month!

February is Cultural Awareness Month at The Mommies Network, and we're thinking globally! Share a love for foreign language and different cultures with your child in our Multicultural Mommies forum on our National Chapter. Each week, we'll feature several languages and cultural tidbits. You may also participate and strengthen your language lingo in a special webinar. Additionally, our sponsor will provide information on how you can continue your language-learning experience after the month is over.

According to Associated Content, brain research shows that children are at an optimal age for language learning. Although language study is effective at any age, some studies suggest that the human brain is more open to learning a foreign language from birth to preadolescence. Fortunately, researchers have not found an age in which the language window closes completely, especially in the areas of grammar and vocabulary.

Take advantage of this opportunity to think globally, and join us as we learn about foreign languages and different ways of life during Cultural Awareness Month at TMN!

Tomorrow night we will have this month's new member chat! Join us at 9:00 in the chat room on MilwaukeeMommies.

Menu Monday: Rice Krispies Treats

Rice Krispies Treats- an old favorite, and now a science project!

Move the cooking to the floor or a low table and use your crock pot to make these.

Children can watch the butter melt and learn how adding heat can make the solid butter turn into a liquid.

Add the marshmallows and listen to the predictions of your little ones. Do they think that they will melt, like the butter did?

Once the butter and marshmallows have melted and are smooth you can remove the crock pot from the heat and stir in the Rice Krispies. Older children can help stir, carefully not touching the warm crock. Press the treats into dishes sprayed with cooking spray and talk to your children about how the mixture will now become a solid again as we let it cool.

The best part of this science experiment: getting to eat it!

Enjoy!
