Fantastic Teacher

[crittermom]

Hi All,

I just have to rant and rave about my daughter's first grade teacher! So I picked Katharine up at school yesterday and her teacher stopped me in the hall. They are reading a book about blueberry muffins and want to bake blueberry muffins at school. So I assumed they were going to ask me to bring in a blueberry muffin for Katharine which would be great that they let me know in advance. That wasn't it, they want me to bring in the ingredients and utensils and bowels to bake gluten free blueberry muffins for the whole class! I couldn't believe it. They thought it would be wonderful for Katharine to participate but also for the other students to be able to try Katharine's muffins! I was so elated! It will be a total pain to take everything into school to bake and clean off all the surfaces and stuff before the kids get down there but, wow, it will be so worth it just for Katharine to be able to have that experience.

I baked the muffins this morning just to make sure it will work with the gluten-free flour and they were delicious. I took some into school so her teacher and student teacher could try them and they both emailed me that they were delicious and they wouldn't be able to tell they were gluten-free if I hadn't told them. They think the kids will love them. I can't wait! Anyway, I have shared so many concerns and questions here, I wanted to share a triumph as well!

Happy Halloween to everyone! Stay safe and gluten-free!

Oh joy!! Have fun. At least the muffin liners will be in place so no worries about the pans.
