DAP with Kindergartners, Ages 5-6. Kindergarten is a time of change, challenge, and opportunity. Because of the great individual variation among kindergarteners and the wide age range of kindergarten children teachers must be responsive to developmental, individual, and cultural variations. Five- and 6-year-olds make great intellectual leaps.
Green Lentils - These can be pale or mottled green-brown in color with a glossy exterior. They have a robust, somewhat peppery flavor. Green lentils generally take the longest to cook, upwards of 45 minutes, but they keep a firm texture even after cooking. This makes them ideal for salads and other side dishes. Look for Lentilles du Puy, Puy lentils, or French Green lentils. Red Lentils - With colors ranging from gold to orange to actual red, these are the sweetest and nuttiest of the lentils - to our mind, at least! They're somewhere in the middle in terms of cooking time and are usually done in about 30 minutes.
Because they are so tiny, dried lentils donât have to be soaked overnight like other legumes. It is a good idea to rinse them well because they contain a lot of dust and dirt. Boil very gently, testing often for doneness. There are three main types of lentils. The most common is the brown lentil, sometimes labeled Indian Brown Lentil or German lentil. I have seen these repeatedly mislabeled as green lentils, but strictly speaking they are not. They are light brown in color and are easy to find on your grocery store shelves.
