I know many of you struggle to find the time (and resources) to
cook in your classrooms. One suggestion might be to invite one
or two parents to be “chef of the month” and come in and cook
with your class. If you can relate the food experience with
learning goals (science, math, reading, etc.) your
administration will be much more supportive. It would also be
good to send home copies of recipes so families can repeat the
experience with their children. Here’s an example of a recipe
that is simple, economical, nutritional, and offers a wide range
of learning experiences. You will need: 1. Wash your hands. 2.
Take 4 cups and put a little milk in each. 3. Add 2 drops of
food coloring to each cup. 4. Use the colored milk like paint
and draw a letter on the bread with a Q-tip. 6. Spread with
butter. Hint! Serve with honey, jelly, or cinnamon sugar.
Adaptations: Make shape bread, numeral bread, monster bread,
etc.
