What a great idea! I love the idea of having homework projects that encourage student and parent activities and interaction. This activity could spark a new tradition in their home! I am definitely going to check out this book. Thanks for the link!

My thought is to nix frequent preparation for one 7 days and allocate a unique preparation venture, in which the learners will choose their preferred food. The learners and mother and father must shop together to buy the meals and then prepare the food together at home. This performs completely with our district's new preparation plan, which has moved the preparation concentrate in the main qualities from worksheets to more age appropriate actions (cooking is known as as an example). On Saturday of that 7 days (after the children have all finished their unique preparation project), each kid will make a guide in college just like Bee-Bim-Bop!, chronicling their own experience of food preparation a food with their loved ones. How fun would that be?!

I like the idea of reading Bee-Bim-Bop! by Linda Sue Park to teach children greater appreciation for the food of their culture. Wouldn't it be great to follow that up with another book about food and culture. I found one such book: Ugly Vegetables by Grace Lin. Although it doesn't go into as much detail as Bee-Bim-Bop about the ingredients and preparation, it does depict a Chinese girl and her mother who work in their garden cultivating Chinese vegetables. The young girl wishes she and her mother would grow flowers like the rest of the neighbors. It isn't until she and her mother harvest the vegetables and prepare a soup that she gains an appreciation for the delicious vegetables.
