SAN JACINTO - Second grade students from San Jacinto Elementary visited San Jacinto High School’s Culinary Arts classroom and Cafe on Oct. 24 and 25 to taste foods from around the world as part of their IB Unit, "Who We Are."
In the weeks leading up to the event, culinary students worked in teams to select a Disney movie and the country it represented, create informational posters and to choose a food item to prepare. The challenge to create a dish entirely from scratch provided an engaging and educational exercise to explore different cultures through a “Disney lens.” The final moments before the young taste-testers arrived was reminiscent of a TV cooking show with a scramble throughout the state-of-the-art kitchen to “plate” and finalize their tasty samplings.
