Yum Yum Cinnamon!

The 7th grade students made Cinnamon Twists for their lab. The hallways were filled with their sweet aroma. MMMMmmmm! The students put forth great effort in planning the lab and following directions. The Cinnamon Twists turned out great! I hope they will share the recipe with you. Bon appetite! 

The 8th grade students started the week by discussing menu planning and meal management. They were able to determine how to analyze menus for variety in color, shape, texture, temperature of foods and nutritional value. The students were able to design their own pizzas. Each lab worked together to create an original pizza recipe. The students needed to include foods from several food groups in their pizza without repeating ingredients. Each group presented their favorite pizza recipe to the class and the class voted for their top choice. All of the classes did a fine job creating unique pizza recipes. The students used a variety of resources to come up with the right ingredients and amounts needed for each pizza.
