The only thing more fun than learning how to cook is eating what you have made! Our students had a great time learning to cook traditional Bolivian dishes in the kitchen next to one of our classrooms. In addition to learning how to set the tables, serve each other, measure and mix ingredients, and follow a recipe, the children learned about proper hygiene while working with food. Our little chefs made their hats and aprons from newspapers.

It was a great day for the kids and a blessing that our school staff coordinated it all without burning down the kitchen! These are the sort of "practical life" lessons that are a part of our new Montessori program, and like so many things that we offer at Casa de Sara, they are not things that our kids could experience anywhere else.
