This week in the classroom we read Sandra L. Richards’ book Rice & Rocks, which tells the story of a Jamaican American child, his magical pet parrot, and his friends with food traditions from around the world.
In the kitchen we made Jamaican rice and peas with kidney beans and enjoyed the island flavors with a special beverage called sorrel tea made from hibiscus, citrus, and spices. We agree with Giovanni from the book: rice and rocks rock!
