As part of her service at PS 294, Community Food Action’s FoodCorps member, July Alcantara de Martinez, leads lessons in the classroom that incorporate learning around cooking, nutrition, and gardening into the academic standards. On February 7th she led a lesson with 3rd and 4th graders about beets, with a math problem tied into it. This was a bilingual class, so\u00a0July led the lesson in her native language, Spanish.
\nComo parte de su servicio en PS 294, la miembra de FoodCorps de Acci\u00f3n Comunitaria de Alimentaci\u00f3n, July Alcantara de Martinez, conduce lecciones en las aulas que incorporan el aprendizaje sobre cocina, nutrici\u00f3n y jardiner\u00eda en los est\u00e1ndares acad\u00e9micos. El 7 de febrero dio una clase sobre las remolachas a estudiantes de los grados 3 y 4, con un problema de matem\u00e1ticas relacionado. Esta era una clase biling\u00fce, por lo que July condujo la lecci\u00f3n en su lengua materna, el espa\u00f1ol.To get a sense of the students\u2019 familiarity with beets July asked how many of them had tried beets before, and about half raised their hands. She and the students discussed how beets grow and their nutritional benefits, such as immune system boosting Vitamin C and B vitamin folate which helps reduce the risk of birth defects.
\nPara tener una idea de la familiaridad de los estudiantes con las remolachas, July pregunt\u00f3 cu\u00e1ntos de ellos hab\u00edan probado las remolachas anteriormente, y aproximadamente la mitad levant\u00f3 las manos. Ella y los estudiantes hablaron sobre c\u00f3mo crecen las remolachas y sus beneficios nutricionales, como la vitamina C que aumenta el sistema inmunol\u00f3gico y el folato de vitamina B, lo que ayuda a reducir el riesgo de defectos de nacimiento.<\/p>\n

Then July and\u00a0the class\u2019s teacher, Ms. Vargas, posed a math problem to the class. If a whole beet is cut up into 12 slices, and Emely eats 3 of the slices, and Carlos eats 5 slices, what fraction of the beet did Emely and Carlos eat?\u00a0Ms. Vargas reinforced to the students that math is important because we use it all the time to solve day-to-day problems like these.
\nLuego, July y la maestra de la clase, la Sra. Vargas, plantearon un problema de matem\u00e1ticas a la clase. Si una remolacha entera se corta en 12 rodajas, y Emely come 3 de las rodajas, y Carlos come 5 rodajas, \u00bfqu\u00e9 fracci\u00f3n de la remolacha comieron Emely y Carlos? La Sra. Vargas reforz\u00f3 a los estudiantes que las matem\u00e1ticas son importantes porque las usamos todo el tiempo para resolver problemas cotidianos como estos.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

After they finished their calculations, the students got to try “the star of the show”, as Ms. Vargas put it – July’s Beet Salad recipe. It was made of raw beets with a simple homemade dressing of olive oil, orange juice, honey, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper. One student liked it so much he said “you can drink that dressing”. At least one student who didn’t think he liked beets was converted by this recipe!
\nDespu\u00e9s de que terminaron sus c\u00e1lculos, los estudiantes probaron “la estrella del espect\u00e1culo”, como lo expres\u00f3 la Sra. Vargas: la ensalada de remolacha de July. Estaba hecho de remolachas crudas con un aderezo casero simple de aceite de oliva, jugo de naranja, miel, vinagre de sidra de manzana, sal y pimienta. A un estudiante le gust\u00f3 tanto que dijo “puedes beber ese aderezo”. \u00a1Al menos un estudiante que no cre\u00eda que le gustaran las remolachas se convirti\u00f3 con esta receta!The students greatly enjoy their lessons with Ms. July, and never want her to leave the classroom. Because she is a resident of the community, a parent of children in the school, and able to speak to them in the language that many of them speak at home, she brings a sense of comfort and familiarity to the new information and new flavors that the students explore with her. We believe that the topic of fresh, local food should be integrated into every child’s education!
\nLos estudiantes disfrutan enormemente sus lecciones con la Sra. July, y nunca quieren que ella salga del aula. Debido a que ella es residente de la comunidad, es madre de ni\u00f1os en la escuela y puede hablar con ellos en el idioma que muchos de ellos hablan en el hogar, ella aporta una sensaci\u00f3n de comodidad y familiaridad a la nueva informaci\u00f3n y nuevos sabores que los estudiantes exploran con ella. \u00a1Creemos que el tema de la comida fresca y local debe integrarse en la educaci\u00f3n de todos los ni\u00f1os!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
