Beans have continued to take on a wide appeal in the studio, offering opportunities for mixed media sculptures, categorizing, counting, cooking and more. Several children spontaneously began grading the beans by size.
Which offered a perfect segue into some of the Montessori grading works available in the classrooms.
We soaked garbanzo beans and made hummus in both the morning and afternoon class.
We also mashed pinto beans for burritos and cooked black eyed peas for sampling.
Overall, the children gave it a big thumbs up...way up!
