Week 2 began and ended just as great as the week one did! I believe that must be a good sign. As the kids entered the classroom, they were so excited for us to actually be there! It was so refreshing as opposed to words such as "ew" or "yuck" which I heard the previous week when helping out Jill, another team member of FLIPANY.
I assisted Jill two weeks in a row, but this week the kids were not so excited to try veggies. We wanted them to try them raw first and then cooked in whole wheat pasta. However, they made it seem like we were trying to poison them. After they veggies were cooked, they did not even notice them inside the pasta as they gushed about how yummy it tasted!
Back to my class on grains, this week was whole wheat banana pancakes in which not one kid forgot what we were cooking today! As I prepared the food, Carlos taught them about the wheat germ and brought different types of wheat and grains to show them from different countries. It was a very nice touch I thought! Their enthusiastic faces lit up when hearing the different grains with their silly names. The things that make ten year olds giggle!
I wish each child could help out more on the cooking because they are so excited to! When telling them next week was fruits they all listed to me all their favoritve fruits that I HAD to bring! They all told me how they were going to make the pancakes toped with strawberries every morning for breakfast. I told them to make them as a surprise for mommy and daddy. We will see what really happens.
Until fruits take over next week....
