Sweet Strawberry Jam

Fun at Kids Central 43 Sweet Strawberry Jam “ Bye, Mom. ” Nina hugged her mother. They had walked together to Kids Central Summer Camp today. “ Bye, sweetie. I’ll be back with Aunt Sujong at three o’clock to pick you up, ” Nina’s mom said. “ Yay! ” Nina’s Aunt Sujong was arriving from Korea today. She was going to stay at Nina’s house for one week.

“ I hope we make a craft today. Then I can give it to Aunt Sujong, ” Nina thought. In the gym Mr. Dunn was holding a box of strawberries. Izzie was trying to guess how many strawberries were in it. “ Twenty-two, ” Izzie said. “ I bet there are twenty-two. ”

“ What do you think, Nina?” Mr. Dunn asked. Nina looked in the box. “ Are we making food today?” she asked, disappointed. “ We’re not making a craft?” “ We’re making smoothies! ” Jason guessed. “ Nope. But you’ll like this too, ” Mr. Dunn said.

“ We’re making strawberry jam, ” Mr. Dunn said. “ Have any of you made jam before?” “ I haven’t, ” Bobby said. “ But my mom has. ” “ Soon you’ll know how to help her. It’s easy, ” said Mr. Dunn.

“ First we need to wash these strawberries. Ethan, will you wash them please? You could count the berries too. ” Mr. Dunn said. “ Thirty-two! ” Ethan announced as the kids put on their aprons. Bobby grinned. “ You weren’t even close, Izzie! ”
