Delaney's Friendship Feast

 The fourth grade classes did not do a traditional Thanksgiving activity.  They did a family heritage Friendship Feast.  Delaney came home with the assignment to come up with a family dish.  She was suppose to explain why it was significant to our family, how it was made, and what it represents to her.  It is a pretty cool assignment.  Last year, Callie talked me into doing Corned Beef and Cabbage, and I was NOT up for something so time consuming this year.  So we did rolls, which represent bread, which we like and the Swiss do well.  (Don't judge me!  It was a busy week!)

We made rolls and brought them in at the appointed time and partook of the things that the other kids had brought.  While we ate, the kids were called up to give their presentation on their items.  It was a lot of fun, and entertaining to hear the different takes on what constitutes a family heritage.  There was a kid who brought pirogis and talked about his great-grandma rolling them from scratch in Poland.  And there was the girl who talked about how she and her mom like to make cookies, so she brought cookies.

Delaney labeled this section for me.  See the "VIP"?  She saved me a spot! 

 She was very soft in her presentation, but did well.
