Molly didn't have school last Monday and Tuesday because of parent/teacher conferences. Next week, there is no school on Wednesday, Thursday or Friday because of Thanksgiving. This means that there were exactly ten school days between these vacation periods. Molly's teacher is taking advantage of this by doing the normal weekly plans during theses two "weeks". This also means that tomorrow will be like a normal Thursday for Molly with a spelling pretest, extra math and reading reviews. This week and the few days next week will be a little confusing but I give Molly's teacher credit for actually getting these lessons in before the holiday. I remember a lot of pre-holiday days at school being mostly wasted because the teachers didn't want to start something new. Molly's teacher is on the ball and now she won't have to push through a lesson in a shorter amount of time.
Our main entree is a salami, pepper cheese and mustard sandwich on whole grain white bread. Molly requested that we cut it into fun shapes. We found this cool puzzle piece cookie cutter a few weeks ago and we added little moons to it because Molly is studying the moon in school right now.
Our vegetable side is sliced cucumbers. We used the crinkle knife again and tried to cut them a little thinner. When we turn the cucumber after one cut and then turn it again after the next cut, etc, the veggies look like waffles.
Our fruit side is a tangerine and pomegranate arils. The tangerine has seeds in it so we need to remember to remind Molly of that, but then again, the grapes in Friday's lunch had seeds and she did fine with those. She even brought them home to show us. The pomegranate may be a little laborious in preparation but it is very worth it. These arils are so sweet and they are a nutritional powerhouses.
Our dairy/dessert is Chobani Champions Verry Berry Greek Yogurt. This has enough protein that no extra dairy is needed. Also, Molly really enjoys it. ☺
