Today Swift 2nd graders talked about (1) things they know how to do well; (2) the recipes they know how to cook; (3) and how to give someone expert instructions. We passed around different kitchen utensils that I brought from home and demonstrated how and when to use things like a whisk, a grater, measuring cups and spoons, and a citrus squeezer. We read “How To Be A Teacher,” and “Recipe for How to Be Lazy.” Students brainstormed ideas and then wrote some great recipe poems.
