What's Cooking?

Our favorite chef around St. Paul's, Mrs. Goodrich, graciously offered to help our 2nd graders make egg rolls in preparation of their upcoming Asia Feast! We couldn't refuse this kind offer and it made for a great Friday afternoon before Spring Break. The children were divided into small groups. The first group got to chop vegetables with knives and they were even willing to chop an onion! One student in that group tried shrimp for the very first time. Then, other groups that followed made the egg rolls by prepping the filling and rolling them onto the wrap. They thought the "glue" (corn starch and water) was fun to use as they sealed the rolls. For some students, it took a few tries before they mastered the roll. We plan to freeze the egg rolls over break, and serve at our feast. The last group, was so helpful that they even stayed to clean up. I am sure Mrs. Goodrich enjoyed being with these second graders. I know our classes had so much fun and probably learned a thing or two about cooking in the kitchen.
