Our produce of the month in November is persimmons! In the classroom we read The Most Perfect Persimmon by Hannah Chung and sang a silly song about persimmons to the tune of “Row, Row, Row Your Boat”:
Persimmons, persimmons, crunchy or soft | Autumn in a bite.
Chocolate, Fuyu, or Hachiya | Fill us with delight!
In the kitchen classroom, the TK chefs used crinkle cutters to slice Fuyu persimmons and Yali Asian pears for a salad also featuring kohlrabi, baby kale, crispy chickpeas, red onion, and orange juice. The Tuesday class moved indoors due to rain, but inside or outside, we had a great time celebrating one of the most perfect fruits of the season.
