Salsa!

Our class is wrapping up our theme study of Mexico and starting a new writing unit on "How-tos" (procedural writing). To join the two in a fun way, our first "how-to" was "How to Make Salsa!" The students helped me follow the steps in a great kids book titled, How To Make Salsa, giving us the chance to familiarize with the structure of procedural writing as well as the chance to try making Mexican food! Our salsa turned out very well and I sent the recipe home on Monday if you are interested in trying it out at home! Here are some photos from the project (the kids were sitting in front of me watching me follow the steps in the book).
