December has arrived, Christmas is just around the corner and a layer of snow is blanketing the school garden. We took a detour from our usual kitchen and garden lesson today...we didn't use vegetables in our recipe. Although I felt a bit guilty for this slip, Kerry's students did have quite a bit of fun making it "snow" inside the classroom. After honing our cutting skills by making glittery paper snowflakes, we turned our scissors toward tortillas. Tortillas and indoor snow, you ask? We made sweet tortilla snowflakes: folded a tortilla into triangles, cut it (as if you were making a paper snowflake), brushed it with a bit of oil and popped it into the toaster oven. After just a few minutes in the oven, the tortillas were crisp and ready for "snow." Powdered sugar in a flour sifter makes for a wonderful, indoor snowfall!
