This study provides children with an opportunity to learn how bread is made, the kinds of bread we eat, who works with bread, and how and when we eat bread. Our children are naturally curious about the types of bread they eat, how it is made, the shapes it comes in, and how we eat it. Children will also learn about the different ingredients that can be used to make bread and how their choices are the result of their unique and rich family culture.

Family Engagement​

​​

Teach your child about bread from your culture.​ What are the names of breads your family eats?​ How are they similar or different? Talk with your child about the bread you eat at home: sandwich bread, naan, tortillas. What are the features of bread, such as color, texture, shape, how it is stored, how it is used, and the difference between sweet and savory breads.​

​

Examine bread in your local grocery or bakery. Point out how breads are packaged. Notice bakery delivery vehicles and ask children how the bread is packaged to avoid being crushed. Talk about who bakes bread and what equipment and supplies do they use.​
