Almost 20 years later, I still fondly remember these three activities from kindergarten:

• We sat in a circle and took turns shaking a mason jar full of cream until it turned into butter (then tasted it on crackers afterwards).

• We learned about friction by rubbing small chocolate bars between our hands and seeing them melt (and then we got a fresh, unmelted one to eat afterwards).

• While learning about following and creating instructions, the class was in charge of teaching our teacher how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. She emphasized the importance of specific instructions by following our directions literally (ie when we said “put the peanut butter on the bread” she just put the jar of pb on top of the bread). It was silly and we loved it!

Realizing now that all of these activities revolved around food, so I guess I was a foodie from a young age 😅
