My Students
Many of my students are from low-income families and receive free lunch. Our school is the only high school in our area, and this year 100% of the students will receive free breakfast and lunch for the school year. Sometimes, eating a healthy, well-balanced meal happens only in school for many of them. Being able to grow fruits, vegetables, and herbs for them to take home and share with their families is something we have been wanting to do in class for a long time. We also have livestock to take care of that we use as learning tools in the classroom. Taking the livestock section one step further and harvesting them for food will teach the students even more about self-sustainability.
Sharing the bounty they raise in class with their families will solidify the teachings and experiences they have in class.
They will be able to share with others how they worked and harvested what they grew and raised then turn around and share with their families what we ate.
My Project
We have lots of things growing in the garden that we can use to make soups and stews in class but have not yet because the cooking time is too long and our class periods are too short. Instant Pot, trolley, and beans to the rescue! The cooking time using an Instant Pot is usually cut in half, if not more, and we will now be able to make a soup using the cabbage, beans and kale we have growing in the garden.
Soups and stews are great ways to use things growing in the garden, and this a great lesson students can take home to be able to feed their families.
We really don't enjoy kale in our smoothies, so being able to cook the kale in a yummy ham and bean soup will be more delicious to my students. We can't wait to be able to make some of these dishes!
More than half of students from low‑income households
