Dear Families,
As we move into the holiday season I wanted to let you know what we
have been up to and give you a chance to come to school to share your
family’s/culture’s seasonal recipes.
So far we have tried the following recipes:
Single portion recipes: That means each child or two children together made some.
Vegetable Soup
Apple Salad
Fruit Salad
Bean Salad
Three Bear Porridge
French Toast
Pioneer Hotcakes (cornmeal pancakes) Tortillas
Pumpkin Cookies
Whole Group
Apples and yogurt
Oatmeal
Playdough
Pumpkin pancakes
Next: pumpkin pie
If you would like a copy of any of the recipes, let me know. Let me know what your child is telling you about
cooking.
In addition to cooking we made trips to the roof. Digging and drawing are favorite
activities. We tasted: tomatoes, herbs, sorrel, chard, broccoli, cauliflower, sweet
potatoes, and carrots.
Keep in mind that the Pre-K and K classes see me three times a week, but once is
for recess. We are harvesting potatoes and carrots now.
The 4/5 classes are starting a curriculum called Green
Beetz. They are charting what they have for breakfast
and how they feel afterwards. They also completed
surveys so I can track what they have learned and
what they still need to find out about.
I would love to have family members come in and show us how to make foods that
are important or loved by you. Email me at tim@theearthschool.org with ideas, or
to volunteer, or to ask questions.
