A New Upper School Elective: Bakeries and Bites
A new trimester of E-Block electives has begun. Sixth, seventh, and eighth graders are spread out among eight different chosen offerings. The new Bakeries and Bites elective will explore the inner-workings of local establishments. Last Thursday they returned to campus with full tummies and a new appreciation for croissant flavors and aesthetics after sampling from multiple bakeries.
This course is led by Ms. Hughes and Ms. Tannous who received a grant from Crane over the summer to attend the Culinary Institute of America. They pondered, "How could we take the things we learned in our culinary classes and bring them back to our Crane classrooms?" Bakeries and Bites is one example of how they have incorporated their learning into curriculum.
