Green Eggs and Ham

Crack open two organic eggs.
add some milk and scramble together with bits of ham.
Squeeze green food coloring into the mixture.
Salt and cracked pepper to taste.
cook over medium heat.

When I was a preschool teacher, on Dr. Seuss's birthday, I would prepare green eggs and ham for my students.
The preparation itself was a math lesson because we weighed the eggs and measured out milk.
Eye- hand coordination was practiced when cutting the ham using child safe utensils and turning the pepper grinder.
Cooking these ingredients together and observing the changes that take place is a science lesson.
This simple recipe is like life.
There are multiple lessons in simple experiences and they are ones that we remember the most.

Green Minds and Wham...I'm not much of a cook but I'm very good with eggs. It's a lesson on coordination. There are multiple Os in simple s-experiences and they are the ones I remember the most :)
