Mr. Petzoldt's third and fourth grade classes took part in a project in which they learned about the many uses of sweetcorn. Here are bookmarks we made for our Grandparents. We laminated them and gave them to our Grandparents on Grandparents day. Jake and Gabby are shelling sweet corn to use for parched sweet corn. Mr. Petzoldt grinding corn with a cornmeal grinder.
Corn bread is baked outside in a dutch oven like the pioneer days.
The fuel used was corn cobs from the sweet corn. They were placed under the dutch oven as well as on top of the dutch oven. This balances it at an even cooking temperature. The finish of the good and delicious corn-bread that we made after we took it off the fire. Mr. Petzoldt and Zak show how the parched sweet corn looked when it was done.
