Just like Sarah

Sarah, Jacob, Anna, and Caleb lived on a farm in the prairie. Unlike us and our trips to Kroger to buy food, they had to raise animals and grow crops, using the earth that God gave them to provide food. They also cooked over a fire, since there was no electricity.

Using our math skills (measurement, fractions, multiplication) -- and a crockpot, we made stew, "just like Sarah". Students measured the dry and wet ingredients and chopped, minced, and diced the veggies. Then we waited patiently as the classroom filled with the delicious, warm smell of beef stew, onions, carrots, and potatoes (remember to add -es since potatoes ends in a vowel).
