If kids were the cooks: Cottage Grove students share their Thanksgiving recipes
Second-graders put their twist on classic -- and some not-so-classic -- holiday favorites.By: Judy Spooner, South Washington County Bulletin
Cottage Grove Elementary School second-grade teachers Jean Aimonetti, Kirsten Bergherr, Michelle Jorissen and Sue Sershen selected these recipes from the ones their students wrote last week.
Students were asked to get recipes from their families and teachers helped them by showing how to list ingredients followed by the instructions. They also gave them the correct spelling for “ingredients.”
In second grade, spelling is corrected but not for all the words so as to overwhelm students, according to teachers. By the end of the year, all spelling will be corrected.
