During the days when the aroma of baking bread fills the classroom, many activities related to bread may be completed. If electronic encyclopedias are available, these are used along with traditional references. The reports are word processed and illustrations are added by hand, through scanning, and with clip art. These reports are put on the walls in the classroom or in the hall as decorations for the restaurant. Children work together to create tissue paper flowers with green leaves put in vases at the restaurant, make tablecloths out of bulletin board paper, and create computer-generated placemats.
Children make lists of adjectives which describe the aroma and taste of their bread products.
These lists are put on posters around the school. Children use crumbs from failed loaves to feed the birds outside theirroom. They make a computer file of what birds come to eat their bread and what breads the birds prefer. Children put ingredients into a data base. Children create recipe charts and menus.
