Really Good Stuff And we have a winner.......Sandy Evans-Babcock! She's the winner of our Thanksgiving contest last week. Sandy wins a $25 Really Good Stuff Gift Certificate. She shared how her class celebrates with a feast and shared a great-looking recipe for Parker House Rolls, her fave item on her Thanksgiving table. Congrats Sa...ndy! Sstay tuned to our fan page in the next few weeks for more fun giveaways and contests!

Marcus Yunus 1) Our weekly theme in reading is 'Eating International', and we are in the midst of a unit on 'Early America' in Social Studies. Between the two subjects, we are able to bring a historical and contemporary perspective to the joy of sharing food. My third graders will also be reading a supplemental magazine this week a...bout Thanksgiving. In an interesting allignment of holidays, my students will also be celebrating the Eid-al-Adha this week. This is a Muslim tradition that is also includes feasting and thanks-giving. 2) I have a deep love for the tofu-turkey. This vegetarian work of art is delicious in combination with potatoes, carrots, and vegetarian gravy. 3) recipe? I typically follow the recipe that comes with the package for this tofu-turkey--I'm choosing to omit the company name. If interested, it shouldn't be hard to find.

1. How do you celebrate Thanksgiving in your classroom? Our second grade classes read Stone Soup and discuss the moral of sharing. We create our own Stone Soup to eat in the classroom along with cornbread and pumpkin pie.
My personal favorite thing to eat for Thanksgiving is dressing and gravy from my grandma's house.

1) My students are mostly from the Dominican Republic so we talk about different traditional foods that they eat with their families on Thanksgiving as well as what the holiday means in American culture. In NLA, they've made pamphlets about what they are thankful for to give to their families over the long weekend.
2) ... My mom's famous leftover Thanksgiving soup. Recipe= combine all of your leftovers into some broth and enjoy for...months!

1. How do you celebrate or commemorate Thanksgiving in your classroom?
We have a "feast" where each family brings something and we all eat lunch together!
2. What's your favorite thing to eat on Thanksgiving?
Fried Okra!!!
3. Recipe - EASY! Cut the okra into thin slices and put salt and pepper on them. Let the okra sit f...or 30 or so minutes until it is "sticky" or slimy. Then coat the okra with a thin layer of corn meal. Put oil in a frying pan and fry it up! YUMMY!
