‘i love cinnamon and baking with my mom.’ – h
—
class bakery day
the children worked
very hard
over the last few weeks
learning
about bread
about baking
how sharing bread is a way to welcome others
every culture makes and eats and shares bread
listened to books about bread and baking
practiced ‘baking’ with play-dough
baked real lemon bread at school
baked breads at home
bought breads at the store
made signs and decorated tables
learned about buying and selling using pennies
gave other classes pennies
that they had to ‘earn’ by working in their rooms
invited other classes, faculty, staff, and families
to come to our room for a big bakery event
said they would give pennies or free bread
to anyone who had no money or food
families supported their efforts
making this day so special
everyone went home
very full, very tired, very happy.
the bakery in full swing

This is SO TOUCHING, made me swallow a lump in my throat. That is exactly as it should be, children learn, are being taught and learn to share, buy and sell, be kind, pay forward and be GENEROUS without expecting anything back….. And it’s not only the children, but everybody – which sadly isn’t always the case.

Came for the cinnamon – stayed for this incredible model for learning and loving and sharing. If this world will be cared for by these children, I want to live to 100 to see it. Love this isn’t strong enough to say here, beth.
