First graders at Pine Knob Elementary recently published their secret recipes on preparing a turkey. The students under the direction of first grade teachers Mrs. Rathburg and Mrs. Cusumano, gathered their recipes and combined them to put a Thanksgiving recipe book together. The children gave their version on how to cook a turkey.
‘Some were very eager to give their recipes while others were clueless,? said Rathburg, ‘but once we got going it was very creative.?
The students emphasized certain aspects of the meal, especially the turkey. They focused on where the turkey comes from, the size of the turkey and how to prepare and cook-recipes that are as original as they come.
‘It took me about three days to complete the book,? said Cusumano. ‘I would take three kids and sit one on one with them to complete each recipe.?
Once all of the recipes were refined, Cusumano typed them up and formatted them into books for the kids to take home and share with their family for Thanksgiving.
‘I used my mommy’s recipe for Thanksgiving turkey,? said first grader Audrey Huhtasaari. ‘I didn’t use my daddy’s because all he knows how to make is peanut butter and jelly and macaroni and cheese.?
The children were very excited about their book, although it won’t hit the stands anytime soon. This great book filled with fun recipes, innocense and some very interesting secrets is only available as a limited edition.
