Poutine!

 I wrote a similar title for a similar blog in January, discussing our experience cooking bannock. In March, we ate real and made pretend patties. In April, we read the Blue Spruce nominated book, The Girl Who Loved Poutine and, naturally, the students wanted to cook poutine. 

I took my own advice from my bannock experience and it paid off! I asked one of my adult volunteers, "Miss Christine", to help out and she came for two afternoons to assist all five primary division classes. I bought extra fries, used frozen french fries to save time, and cooked them in a deep-fryer while the students prepared the gravy and cheese. I couldn't make it as authentic as it should be, because cheese curds are expensive. We used white cheese and the students cut them into cubes. Here are some photos (without faces) of the experience.
