Sixth Age Sandwiches!


A Yummy Combination!

Mustard, Pickles, and Turkey
I read the book, Carla's Sandwich, to the Sixth Age students, and then they created a slice of their favorite sandwich.  Carla is a girl who loves making unique, creative, and different sandwiches but she gets teased about them at school.  A few of her favorites are:
  1. Banana-Cottage-Cheese-Delight on a tasty toasted baguette
  2. Sardine and Mustard Sandwich with Sunflower Seeds
  3. Combo Deluxe: Lettuce, Tomato, Raisin, Bean Sprout, Pretzel and Mayonnaise Sandwich

Then, one day a boy in her class forgets his lunch, and Carla offers him one of hers.  He reluctantly agrees, and LOVES the sandwich.  The excitement prompts all the kids to try a bite, and then to bring in their own unique sandwiches to school the next day.  This is a fun story with the message that being unique and creative is so much more interesting than being the same as everyone else, and that one shouldn't judge others based on their unique and creative spirit. This is an excellent book for discussing one of the Calvert Pillars, Compassion.
