For one school, week nine was our last class and we made smoothies and completed our cookbooks. \For the schools with a few more weeks of classes, we had a
VEGAN FOOD TASTING CHALLENGE!
One of the many reasons I incorporate this tasting challenge is because so many kids assume that they know what the food will taste like by it's appearance, and whether or not they will like it or not without tasting it. One student tells me every class that he doesn't like any of the foods we are working with, regardless of what we're using, and this class was no different. But I always make him touch his tongue to the food. Turns out he ended up eating a few of them and liking them! (But didn't want to admit he liked any of them.)
One of the challenges was that they had to guess what the food was before tasting it, what it was made out of, and also to figure out what all of the food challenges had in common.
Answer: All of these foods were made from plants and were vegan.
ONE STUDENT OUT OF 60 GOT IT CORRECT!!
Awesome job, Daniela!! You made me so happy!!
