Children in Ms. Farkas's and Ms. Schoen's classes at Eureka Heights Elementary School enjoyed a tasting feast last Monday in an effort to compare foods served at the first Thanksgiving with those served today.
Social Studies curricular topics covering the "then and now" were emphasize in the weeks prior to the feast. The pupils, therefore, had points of reference.
The children also enjoyed an integrated science lesson when they made cranberry relish from scratch and discussed taste buds, states of matter and mixtures.
It all made for a perfect primer to the Thanksgiving Day weekend.
