Fresh Fruit Smoothies and Cinnamon Pull Apart Rolls

The 7th graders had their first lab this week.  The students made Individual Apple Crisps on Monday. The students worked well with their lab partners and had successful lab results.  

On Thursday the 7th graders made Fresh Fruit Smoothies with fresh strawberries, bananas, yogurt and orange juice.  They did a great job working together with their lab partners.

We went over several helpful hints for dish washing techniques for our foods' labs and the students were given the opportunity to describe dish washing techniques and proper clean up procedures. It is amazing how well each class performed when it was time for the real clean up during their lab. Nice job!

Our 8th grade foods' lab was quite successful this week, as well. The students made Cinnamon Pull-Apart Rolls. The hallways were filled with their sweet aroma. MMMM mmmm! The students put forth great effort in planning the lab and following directions. The Cinnamon Pull-Apart Rolls turned out great! 
I hope they will share the recipe with you.

The 8th grade students received the information for their Home Meal Project this week.  They spent time in the computer lab on Friday working on this exciting project.

Have a nice weekend!

Sincerely,
Mrs. J. Bretl
