A drawing by a first grader

A first grader drew this today in technology lab using Microsoft Paint.  He really wanted to print it out and bring it home, so we decided on this green alternative.

A super bird!

Baking Our Own Cajun Cornbread Boy

In class this week, we have read The Cajun Cornbread Boy by Dianne de Las Casas.

Here is a little preview of the book:

All students grades K, 1, 2, and 3 will have heard the story as of Monday the 17th.
I told the students I was going to put the recipe at the end of the book onto my blog SO here it is!

 

The students will tell you that, in the story, the Cajun Cornbread Boy had 2 chili peppers for the eyes, a peppercorn for the nose, and a link of boudin sausage for the mouth.

Actually, boudin is sold at the Kennesaw WalMart and the Acworth Wal-Mart.  It is a sausage made with rice and meat.  SOOOO good grilled!  I also like to cook it in a pan, and then cook lima beans (or butter beans as we call them in South Louisiana) and pour the creamy cooked butter beans over the boudin.

Here is a picture of the boudin that is sold at WalMart locally:

Anyway, there's my contribution to culture education for the week!  Enjoy, cher! 

Laissez le bons temps rouler!!!
