2nd Graders Sample Tomatoes: Salsa Time!
Week of September 8, 2011
Got the two groups of kids I work with out into the garden...to pick tomatoes! We did a "taste test", (the first group of 16 did 6 varieties--too many!--while the second group of 28 did only three; much better idea) which was fun, tallied them and graphed the results...Then on Friday, I made salsa with Ms. Lodewyck's group; most of them liked it, though we put four of those little red chillies in, so it was pretty spicy! Couldn't find any onions, except scallions, so I brought one from home. All very successful! (Submitted by Kirsten J.)
