This week we read the story "Jalapeno Bagels" in our reading book. A young boy was at his family's bakery looking for something to take to school for International Day. They were to take something from their culture. He thought of taking pan dulce, Mexican sweet bread. Then he thought of taking empanadas de calabaza - pumpkin turnovers. After making those, he helped his Mama` make chango bars. Next, he helped his Papa` make bagels and challah, Jewish braided bread. Finally, his mom, dad, and he make jalapeno bagels. In the end, Pablo decided to take jalapeno bagels with cream cheese and jam.
Last night, my granddaughter and I (mostly my granddaughter - top left photo) made the jalapeno bagels. We've never made bagels before so it was a fun experience! I wasn't sure if my kids would like them, but they ate them with cream cheese and jelly and really liked them!
This morning, Miss Nancy gave us all the ingredients to make Chango Bars. The pictures are from this morning's baking session. They turned out GREAT! BOTH OF THESE RECIPES ARE IN OUR READING BOOK IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN TRYING THEM.
Next Tuesday is the end of our third quarter! How can that be?????
We continue to learn more in preparation for First Communion. Three of my kids should have taken a note home and the intention they'll do for the big day. There will be three from Mrs. Gierczic's class and three from mine for Intentions. We will each have two for Offertory also. By the way, did you know that is also the Feast of the Ascension?
Have a great weekend!
