Oh, boy...I've got joy!

X is in a little preschool where the moms take turns teaching two lessons each. It is a wonderful couple of hours and I felt lucky to get to take the kids on a field trip when it was my turn to teach. We were learning about rules and how things turn out well when we follow the rules. We went to Great Harvest to see how their bakers follow the rules (recipes) to make good bread. They gave an excellent short presentation, just right for young kids. The kids were patient while they waited for the tour to start and seemed to like the field trip.

Learning about the five main ingredients in bread:
flour, water, yeast, honey, and salt (I think)
Seeing the giant mixing bowl was my favorite part.

A gigantic mix of dough getting cut into smaller loaf pieces.
The workers showed off by throwing the dough up and over
the black rafters (see below) trying to land them right on the baking tray.

The kids watching the workers knead the dough

Waiting for their free bread samples

Enjoying the bread samples--thanks!

It was a fun field trip and the kids were given a picture to color
which let the moms get a free loaf of bread later! Yum!

The first day of school--thanks Miss Jesi for putting it all together!

X enjoys school and the kids enjoy playing with each other.

There are great moms and great kids! Who could ask for anything better?!
