Splat the cat

Today Cristine from B.L.G came to read to our class.  The book that she read to us was called "Splat the Cat". The perfect present for Mom and Dad.  The book is about Splat the cat and his sister and his brother made a present for Mom & Dad.  Splat made little fish and his sis made a flower with a pin on it and his brother made a castle.  Then they thought they could do better.  If you want to read the whole book you need to get the book.  

The Growing chefs

Today the Growing Chefs came to our classroom. There was a new chef named Chef Wouter. He was very tall. Later on we made stirfry and soup. The ingredients that we need are mushrooms, broccoli, spinach, peas/pea shoots, beans, dill, peppers, oil, carrots, celery, onions, garlic and the most inportant one is LOVE. Some people liked it and some people don't like it that much. You should taste it. First we chop the vegetables up. But we had to make a tiger claw. So we don't cut our own fingers. When we finish chopping the vegetables we get to put the vegetables in the pan and it smells very Good! After that we get to eat it with the whole class and it was very  very very very very tasty! It was exciting and surprising day.  We hope you enjoy it and  if u make it you might enjoy it!

Stirfry and soup

Today, was a very special day because the Growing Chefs come every other wednesday but today there was a guest chef. His name was Chef Wouter. Chef Wouter is very very tall. He can almost touch the top of the door and he is super silly because he turned the chair the other way and sat down with another chair on top of the other chair.  Anyways, we made stirfry and soup.  It took a long time for us to make the soup and the stirfry.  There was four stations. It was a cutting station, harvesting station, peeling station and cracking peas station.  My favourite station was the cutting station. 

Maps of Canada

This is one of the maps that we made of Canada.  Canada has ten provinces and three territories.  The provinces are:  British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, Newfoundland and Labrador, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island and the three territories are Yukon, Northwest and Nunavut territories.

Our Garden

Our class has planted some beans with the 
Growing Chefs.  We had to water them
every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.  We
had to sing to the plants when we watered. We had to wait and wait until they became beans.  Today we will be eating and
cooking the beans.  Also we are going to
chop them up.  We think it would taste crunchy.  We can't
wait to eat them up (yum yum)!

Growing Chefs' Salad

On Wednesday May 30th the Growing Chefs came to my classroom.  First we do the garden talk of course!  Next we were learning about vitamins.  Carrots has vitamin A.  Vitamin A helps your eyes see very good in the dark.  The next vitamin is Vitamin B.  Vitamin B helps you have strong muscles and even helps you have a very good memory.  Third is vitamin C.  Vitamin C helps you to stay healthy.  The fourth one is Vitamin K.  Vitamin K helps us grow tall.  The very last one is sunflower seed.  Sunflower seed gives you energy.  B, C, K.  Try to guess what are the vegetables are!  When we finished the vitamin, my whole class ate lettuce, carrot, spinach, beets and sunflower seed.  Some people liked it but some people didn't like it.  I only liked it a little bit.  My favourite vegetable was sunflower seed.  When my class finished eating the vegetables some of my classmates brang some of the vegetables home to share it with their family.  I never had a fun day like that before!

Chef
Today we learned about vegetable vitamins. Carrots have vitamin-A. We made salad. I put in carrots and seed and spinach. I ate it.  I don't like it because the purple vegetable tasted disgusting.  I like growing chef in our classroom.







Now... another clever tale of our growing chef's day...

"Today the grow..... wait.... you should know what their name is if you read our blog.  And you probably read our blog so tell me... WHAT!  You don't know!  OK, fine.  I'll tell you their name - it's GROWING CHEFS!!!!  Now, where was I.... shhhhh!  I'm thinking.  I might be a little slow but still do not disturb me!  Okay, thinking, thinking.  GOT IT!!  Today the G-R-O-W-I-N-G  C-H-E-F-S, and in easier words, "Growing Chefs" came to our classroom.  Today we did something veeeerrrrrryyyyy special.  The first thing we did on this "special" growing chef day was learn about different kinds of vitamins.  Did you know that plants have vitamins inside them?  Well now you do!  Shocked aren't you.  How could plants possibly hold vitamins?  THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE ANY HANDS!!!  Now I'll tell you what all the vita-zzzzzzzzz, snore zzzzzzz snore.  Is my story really that boring??! (Sigh)  I knew having a pretend audience was a bad idea!  Now I'm go - zzzzzz snore - CUT, CUT, CUT.  I'm sorry video reporter.  We have to cut because this guy keeps falling to sleep!  Now - 3, 2, 1, let's turn on the video camera - BOO!  Ow. Stop throwing tomatoes at me.  Okay, I'll be a vitamin explainer instead of a comedian... YAY!!  You're hurting my ears.  Chill audience, chill!  If you give me a chance to talk about gardening I would.  That's better.  All quiet except for the guy sleeping in the second row.  Now, who's ready to talk about vitamins.  WE ARE!!!!  That's the spirit.  What vitamin do you want to start with?  Vitamin A!  Good choice random person!  Let's talk about vitamin A and no screaming.  I'm getting a headache.  Do you know what vitamin A helps you with? NOOOO!  Shhhh!  I don't want any more exclamation marks in this story!  Wait, you're writing a ... Now, let's talk about vitamin A (I plug my ears because I don't want my pretend audience to yell "yeah" right in the middle of the story, but they didn't say anything.  All I could hear was a cricket so I unplugged my hands from my ears).  That's it!  I'm closing the curtains.  That's it, no more show for you audience.  There, it's going to be a lot easier without an audience.  Where was I?  Oh yes, I'm about to tell you what vitamin A does... well I will tell you what all the vitamins do.  Vitamin A is good for your eyes, vitamin B makes your memory better, vitamin C makes you healthy,  Vitamin E gives you energy and vitamin F isn't next.  Vitamin K is, and vitamin K makes you grow and that day wasn't over yet!  We made special salad too.  I will tell you the ingredients - 1 cup vegetable oil, 1/2 cup red wine vinegar, 1/4 cup liquid honey, 1tsp dijon mustard, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper and that's the salad's special dressing called "Honey vinagrette salad dressing and you don't need to know the salad because you can make any salad you want and put the dressing on it!  Hope you enjoyed my story!"
