Oreo Cookie Ice Cream

This was quite a fun-filled week. All of the seventh grade students made Oreo Cookie Ice Cream in our Consumer Education Lab.  The students couldn't believe how easy it was to make the recipe. They were very proud of themselves. I must admit it did taste yummy. 

The seventh graders will be bringing their recipe packets home this week. I hope they continue to cook at home.

Each of the 8th grade classes spent time in the IMC this week working on the planning sections of their Meal Project Packet.  

Both 7th and 8th grade students will be spending the next several weeks discussing nutrition basics and healthy food choices.  We will also be completing our Food Science Labs.

Have a nice weekend.

Sincerely,
Mrs. J. Bretl

Fruit Pizza

Now that the seventh grade students have several foods' labs behind them things are settling down a bit. Each class was able to get the lab completed on time. The students also did well with their clean up tasks this week.

We made Fruit Pizza in our lab this week. The students did a great job making the dough and baking the crust.  I was impressed with how well the sugar cookie pizza crusts turned out. The students were able to select four of their favorite fruits to use as toppings on their pizza.  The students also did a fine job consuming their pizzas.

Have a nice weekend!

Sincerely,
Mrs. J. Bretl
