Dear Parents,
This week we began our week boiling our sweet potatoes. The children took turns going down to the kitchen to put the potatoes to boil, see if they were ready, and to skin them. We examined the potatoes before and after to see how they had changed. Some said, “They were hard”, and now, “They are mushed.”
Everyone had a turn to help mix the potatoes using an electric mixer. We could smell them as we mixed. All the children wanted a taste when we were done, except one person.
The next day we made cranberry sauce. Again we examined and felt one cranberry to see the difference before and after. Someone noticed that some of the cranberries looked black. We boiled them and upon inspection the children said, “They turned to mush!” It was similar to our observation of the cooked sweet potatoes.
In the yard, some children were pretending to ride on a double-decker bus bed-house ice-cream truck. True story.
We asked some children what their family would bring for the feast. They said chocolate cookies, lemon bars, and a turkey made out of fruit. We did not see these at the feast, but what was there was feast worthy! It was delicious! Thanks to everyone.
Have a thankful Thanksgiving,
Therese
