Re: [LM_NET] Ideas for a cooking theme?

[Shonda Brisco <sbrisco@GMAIL.COM>]

Maybe:

"What's Cooking @ the Library?" --- activities relating to new things
happening in the library...new books, new programs, new people.

"Recipes for Real Life" --- activities related to success in school,
home, work, etc. (or academic success skills)--databases, if the
students are older

"Chemistry in the Kitchen" --- mixing up science recipes through
library resources

"Mixin' Up Math" --- using fractions, measurements, etc., using recipes for math

"Cookin' Up Fun" --- highlight books from the 700's (hobbies, crafts,
sports)---invite the PE teacher to participate in this one

I keep thinking of some of the recent books that I've seen (at a
bookstore) on children's cooking and some really "cool ways" to use
these books with your theme.  It would be fun to find some of the
really OLD cookbooks (I have a few dated in the late 1800's) that
describe how to make certain types of meals starting with the
"execution of the chicken" in the hen house!  What fun to share those
types of recipes with students as a part of "history".....you can even
incorporate the American Memories project into that one!

Then there's the holiday activities that occur and the food-related
topics that involve cooking.

What a fun project!
