Cooking Your Way Through School: Round Up

Over the years I have come to realize that so many of the things we do in our homes can be used to teach something in our homes and make learning about the world around us so much more tangible.  Using our senses cements our learning and our sense of smell and taste are one of the most under utilized senses.  Today the Crew would like to share some of their recipes and how they use cooking to supplement our studies.
