As part of a hands-on learning lesson combining English, science, social studies, mathematics and philanthropy, Worcester Prep teachers Tracey Berry and Kelley Burton hosted the annual bread sale with their second-graders Jan. 23.
The month-long project is modeled like a small business, with the students baking the bread and then selling it for 25 cents in their classroom café to other students and faculty. The project involves researching ingredients, creating posters and oral reports, and rotating jobs - from baker to cashier - to learn all the facets of running a business.
Proceeds are donated to Atlantic General Hospital in Berlin.
