Students enjoy the spirit of fall
from Meher Montessori School
On Friday, Oct. 25, the children of Meher Montessori School, located at 943 E. Altadena Dr. in Altadena, celebrated the spirit of autumn with a cooking activity. The children all had the opportunity to help scoop out the seeds and guts of two pumpkins before setting them into a slow cooker with some water to cook. After three hours, a little bit of cinnamon, sugar and milk, they had a creamy, mildly sweet puree of pumpkin to taste. As is always the case with new foods, some children came back up for seconds, even thirds, whereas some barely put the pumpkin to their lips before deciding it wasn’t for them. Either way, it was a messy, fun experience fo all. Next month¹s cooking activity will be Friendship Soup,where all the children will bring just a little, and together we will turn it into a bountiful soup full of friendship and love.
