In the classroom this week we read Sweet Justice: Georgia Gilmore and the Montgomery Bus Boycott about how an extraordinary citizen and activist who was famous for her cooking helped make the world a better place through her food.
In honor of Georgia Gilmore, we made our own pies in the kitchen for our final class of the year. The kindergarten chefs made a simple graham cracker crust, whipped chocolate whipped cream, macerated fresh cherries, and topped off their pies with handmade vanilla whipped cream and milk chocolate shavings. It was a very sweet ending to a wonderful ten weeks together.
Room 107 was able to take an Edible Social Studies walking field trip to the Dearborn Community Garden in the Mission to celebrate the end of our time together. It was a reminder that spending time in nature, being together, and enjoying popsicles are all ways we can continue to stay healthy and strong.
