Summer Cooking Is Summer Skills Review

Posted by learning on July 30, 2008

Back from vacation!  While we were gone, I thought about how one of my goals as a parent is for my children to think back on growing up and remember having a great childhood.  One shared activity that builds bonds between any two people is enjoying a meal together, from cooking to dishes.  Well, dishes with your child may get postponed to another occasion, but the cooking and eating together can happen. 

I found a great website that has a banana caterpillar recipe.  Using a recipe is a sneaky and fun way to use both reading and math skills.   Besides the reading you can have discussions about greater than, less than and the math symbols > and <.  Example: 6 < 8 or 4 > 5.

Have fun!
