Worcester Preparatory School teachers Tracey Berry and Kelley Burton and their second-graders hosted the annual bread sale Jan. 24 as part of a hands-on learning lesson combining English, science, social studies, mathematics and philanthropy.
The month-long project is modeled like a small business, with the students baking the bread and then selling it in their classroom café for 25 cents to other students and faculty. The project involves researching ingredients, creating posters, presenting oral reports and rotating through jobs from baker to cashier, to learn all the facets of running a business.
Proceeds are then donated to Atlantic General Hospital.
