15.Dezember - Keksentag

Frohe Weihnachten!

This Saturday, we brought back a tradition that was started years ago in the 5.Klasse: Cookie Saturday!

We spent the class period with each student decorating their own bundle of cookies, both sugar and gingerbread, of various shapes. Shortly beforehand, we went over the vocabulary for the shapes, so as to make the whole cookie thing at least slightly academic.

Also provided was a handout containing the following: a German-style Lebkuchenfiguren recipe, exposition over the differences between European and American recipes (ingredients done by weight instead of by volume, metric instead of standard, etc), vocabulary for the various words listed in the German recipe, and for the parents, a copy of the recipe that we actually used to make the cookies--I hope you like it!

There is no homework assigned over the break; however, the week after we come back, there will be a redo of the test that was taken last week.



Mit Vergnügen~
