Family Cooking & Playing

Yesterday we completed our four week class on family cooking at the Somerset Middle School. We learned about planning and cooking a healthy meal together. The girls were putting our meal ingredients in the appropriate food pyramid slots (this was a big deal for them to go up in front of everybody).

The family enjoying vegetable and pork stir fry over rice with fruit salad. We got quite a few free kitchen items, 3 children's books and a kid friendly cookbook.
I was able to volunteer in Anna's class today and help out with the Thanksgiving party. It was a lot of fun learning her routine and meeting her classmates. Anna has an awesome teacher and absolutely loves school. We usually hear a lot about the sensory table and what Mrs. Eiring puts in it...today corn from Mrs. Larsen's farm.

This is Anna's good friend Serenity and her little brother Robert. Serenity's mom helped out today too so Anna thought that was pretty nice.

Mrs. Eiring took the class out behind the school playground and had each child dump a cup full of corn to feed the deer or other interested wildlife. A perk of going to school in the country! The class will do this often through the week and check to see if any corn was eaten from the time before.
