Making Butter

Long ago cows were milked, milk contained cream. It floated to the top of the milk. Children skimmed the cream off the top of the bucket, and "churned" it in butter churns made of wood. In room 4 we "churned" our butter by dropping marbles into a plastic jar and shaking the cream until a clump of butter formed. We poured the milk off and enjoyed our fresh butter with our cornbread.
