We have a full class of 6-9 year olds this week and they are eager to learn and just as eager to eat! Yesterday they learned about kitchen safety and sanitation as well as basic knife cuts. They made blueberry muffins, a green salad with mustard vinaigrette, and spaghetti with marinara sauce (with tons of veggies.) It was all a big hit! The nutrition lesson was macronutrients-what they are and why we need them.
Today they learned about oven temperatures and measurements while they prepared homemade granola (they made parfaits) hummus with pita chips, zesty veggie salad (they learned how to blanch) and raw kale salad. Whew! We chatted about the importance of sleep today and also the importance of finding a way to de-stress if they were ever feeling stressed. They all had their favorite ways all picked out! (interestingly enough) From snuggling with teddy bears, to climbing tress, to taking a long shower to exercising or reading books-they all knew what worked for them. An interesting note is that almost every child we have asked this question to has had the same answers…..in all classes and in every age group.
Enjoy the photos…more soon!
