What is your recipe for courage? What is your recipe for being lazy? Shoesmith 4th graders were thoughtful about these things before, during, and after reading “Recipe for Courage”by Marilyn Singer, and “Recipe for Being Lazy” by Leslie Reese. This lesson took place during a couple of weeks in which some teachers and students returned to their actual classrooms and others continued to teach and learn from home. Teachers and teaching assistants had to create a “Recipe for Coordinating Tech and Facilitating Simultaneous Learning ” for students at home and at school!
What follows is a mini cookbook of 4th grade recipes. Bon appetit!

Playing a game too long, and eating too much sweets,
and you’re mad that you can’t reach.

or maybe some beans.
Watching too much tv can hurt your eyes
and sometimes you can be scared of being surprised.
You can eat, drink, or do whatever
but not too much cause it might be never.
Circling round and round like a planet
but how can you stop? probably eat a pomegranate.
Now these are the steps for being crazy
and make sure you don’t get lazy.
