CULTURE CRAZE




Dear Parents/Guardians:

 

In our Social Studies curriculum we have been studying the four countries of Peru, Ukraine, India and Tunisia.   The kids are really enjoying learning so many different things about the cultures around the world.

 

On Thursday, June 19th our grade 3 classes have planned a “CULTURE CRAZE” feast.  We will be eating from 10:45 – 11:45 am. The kids will not need much for lunch this day but pack a small lunch as a backup if needed.

 

IMPORTANT: There are a wide variety of recipes from Peru, Ukraine, India and Tunisia that can be found on the Internet.   We are sending a list of websites for you to look at.  This is a fun activity for students to taste different menu items from around the world.  We would really appreciate if parents could help out by sending in a food dish from one of the four countries. They do not have to be large food dishes, just enough for the kids to have a little sample.

 

As well, many cultural food items can be purchased in the ethnic food section of the grocery store.  They are simple to make up and sometimes already premade. 

 

Please let us know as soon as possible what food dish you are able to send for our culture craze.  Please note: To make this event successful parental support is needed.   Please complete the slip below and return to school if you are willing to send in a food dish for our “CULTURE CRAZE” feast.  If food dishes need to be warmed prior to eating we will take care of that.  Please return slip by Monday, June 16th! Thank you.

 

IMPORTANT DISH LABEL INFO:  If you are sending dish please make a LABEL for your dish
so that we know what the dish is and what country it is from.  There are NUT, BANANA,
kiwi and allergies so if your dish contains NUT, BANANA OR kiwi please make sure it
says so on the label for the dish.

 

In order to make this a successful event parental contributions are required. Here are a number of web-sites with authentic recipes and we will leave it up to you to decide what it is you would like to bring if you choose to contribute to our culture craze. Please note that the food dishes do not need to be large, they are just for the kids to sample.

IMPORTANT - SALT DOUGH FOR MONDAY!!!!

Dear Parents:

In science on MONDAY we will be doing a project with SALT DOUGH.  I need each student to bring in their own salt dough for this project. The recipe is very simple to make.  Please make up the recipe on SUNDAY NIGHT (keep salt dough refrigerator overnight in an air tight container or bag – very important), so that it is fresh for your child to use on MONDAY.

PLEASE SEND SALT DOUGH TO SCHOOL IN AN AIR TIGHT CONTAINER OR BAG ON MONDAY MORNING (June 9th).

 

Thank you for taking the time to do this! You will be amazed to see what your child creates!

 
Basic Salt Dough Recipe
Ingredients:
·         1 cup of fine salt
·         1 cup of flour
·         1/2 cup of water (may add more)
Instructions:
o    In a large bowl, combine the salt and the flour
o    Make a well in the salt/flour mixture and add the water
o    Knead until smooth and shape into a ball
o    When not in use, wrap in plastic or store in an airtight container
HINT: To get a softer dough you can add more flour. Adding more salt will lend a more granulous affect.

 

Thank you!

Mrs. Barker
