Bread

Last week our MWF preK  students learned about wheat, flour and breads.  We learned most flour is made from wheat.  Wheat grows in a field.  Flour is used to make many things we like to eat.  We also learned that yeast is the ingredient that makes bread rise.

We learned that children all over the world eat many kinds of bread and not everyone has an oven!

We watched a field of wheat being harvested and 'went' to a factory to see how a loaf of bread is made and much more.  On Fun Food Friday, we tasted tortillas.  Yummy! 

We made our own sub sandwich with meats, cheeses and toppings.

 

This was a delicious and fun filled unit.  Frozen bread dough is an easy way to have some fun with your child in the kitchen.  At the grocery store?  Ask your child what food s/he think will have flour. You and your child can visit your local bakery or the bakery section in your grocery story.  Have your child choose a new bread to try.  Enjoy!
