Fostering independence can be scary. Nevertheless, not a single figure was injured when our students accepted the responsibility for preparing our Thanksgiving soup.
Kindergarteners worked in pairs to cut, count and label their vegetable.
We ended up with 25 bags with 25 different numbers. When the class was asked what we should do with our ingredients, Isaac answered, "We should add them!" A quick lesson in double digit addition was given, just far exposure, and we ended up with a soup made up of 1139 pieces of produce. We wondered, which vegetable would we be most likely to bite into during our feast? with 286 pieces or carrot and 187 pieces of broccoli it was a close call. No body wanted to admit that the 381 pieces of onion were a possibility.
