Just a quick post to share a pie tasting activity we did before the Thanksgiving break. Anytime a lesson involves food, you can bet it will probably be a hit! This was no exception. My students had such a blast trying the different types of pie. It's open-ended, so you can choose any four flavors you'd like.
I chose buttermilk, pumpkin, apple, and cherry. I stayed away from the pecan, because I have a student with a nut allergy in my classroom. I pretty much grabbed whatever flavors they had at the grocery store. I had never even heard of buttermilk...I honestly thought none of my students were going to like it. I almost didn't grab it. Imagine my SHOCK when 18 of my little ones chose it!!!
My students insisted that I taste the buttermilk. I'm not a big pie eater, so I was hoping they wouldn't notice that I didn't try that flavor. Sure enough one of my little sweeties said..."One of our mighty messages is to try new things, you should try it." How can you say no to that??? It honestly was pretty good, just SUPER sweet, which explains why they love it so much.
They enjoyed graphing the results for the class, and I don't think they even realized that they were doing math!
This is a FREEBIE in my store, so head on over to grab it. You can click

Pie tasting sounds like my kind of an activity. It is always so exciting to try out some new flavor of pies and it feels great if it tastes good and becomes your new favorite.
