In the last lesson of the year for Geruma's 5/6th grade class, we made cinnamon bread and pizza. I have had sort of a bad week, so I was really not into the lesson at first, but the kids pretty quickly brought me out of my bad mood.
[the two sixth graders and the fifth grader]
[it was fun teaching them that measuring for bread doesn't need to be exact - it goes against everything they know just 'sort of get it close']
[their favorite part was measuring the flour, which was me pouring flour into their bowls out of the bag. I taught them there that you can't use an accurate flour measurement because it is a certain consistency you're after and you just keep adding flour until you get there.]
[kids are kids everywhere - eating the spilled cinnamon sugar]
[the teacher brought a bag of corn, which is a popular pizza topping in Japan. But the bag turned out to be mixed vegetables - she made the kids use them anyway.]
[they asked what we do in America for pictures (in place of the peace sign)]
