Autocuidado Y Creatividad: Self Care and Creativity in Spanish Class
Funded Nov 7, 2024The impact of the project? Beauty. Simplicity. Curiosity. AND future generativity!
Our Spanish class partnered with the 11th grade Food Science class to create gorgeous citrus wreaths and nature ornaments with our new food dehydrator. Many students brought citrus ornaments home and hung them on street trees or inside in windows to catch the light. Students wanted to know what dehydrated citrus tasted like, what it could be used for (other than swag, wreaths, and ornaments). They found out that many people like to garnish drinks with dehydrated citrus. At our school's winter craft fair, my students sold dried citrus drink garnishes, grapefruit and orange swag, and more ornaments. With the funds from this sale, we were able to have three in class cooking projects, involving over 95 students! We prepared homemade flour tortillas in the tortilla press, fresh pico de gallo, soft chicken tacos, fresh guacamole and loaded nachos, and more!
We are just now experimenting with the dehydrator and teas - so check out this space for another round of asks so we can do more with the dehydrator and herbs for tea!”
