Kindergarten has been studying colonial towns and the roles of different townspeople, learning about the many trades that helped communities thrive.
Today, students explored the work of bread makers, millers, and bakers. We were lucky to have a parent volunteer visit our class to share how bread is made, explaining the ingredients, tools, and process. Students even got to taste some delicious artisan bread, making the experience both fun and memorable!
