The latest post was about the benefits of cooking with kids. One of the best ways to celebrate family is by cooking from recipes that have been part of your special traditions. As I said, my math group would be cooking with Lea's mom tomorrow to make a special recipe from their family history.
On Friday, we will be cooking again! This time, both my class and Will's will be working with Beatrix's grandma to make a recipe in honor of our 44th president and make his favorite dish. We will make both a meat and vegetarian version, and will feed our school in the afternoon as we watch a Schoolhouse Rock dvd about government. If you are lucky, there may be leftovers that you can enjoy at pick-up time!
