Around the World with our Discovery Class

We had a hole in our week that we wanted to fill with a class. Thursday afternoons became our "Discovery Class". Every Thursday, we travel to another Continent and study different countries and cultures. We talk about languages, traditions, clothing, animals and our favorite is FOOD! We have become quite the culinary group with our new and exciting recipes! So far this year we have made Irish Soda Bread, West African Lime cake, Egyptian candy, quesadillas with homemade salsa, Pavlova, and pasta from scratch! Today we had cheese tasting and chocolate fondue (we were in France!)

Here are some pictures from our adventures!


Trying and rating different cheeses. Brie and Colby were a a hit!

Trying our hand at an Eiffel Tower with marshmallows and toothpicks!

The boys arcitecture!

Nothing better then chocolate fondue!


Our sugar cube pyramids! There are so many things you can make with food!

For Africa, we made drums and Lime cake...this round table is one of our favorite places!

I had to add this one...they decided to give Mrs. Bromley some love!

African masks

Making Salsa. Pumpkin cutters are perfect for children to use. They cut the food and not little fingers!


For Australia, we made Pavlova (it is like a meringue) with yogurt and berries on top! Yummm!

So good!
