The 6th grade students prepared a Fried Rice Recipe in Consumer Education this week in celebration of Chinese New Year. I heard some students share the fact that this was their favorite lab. I could tell that the students were quite proud of themselves. There were several tedious tasks involved in making the recipe and the students worked extremely well together. Nice job!
The sixth grade students also discussed how to be smart shoppers and discovered the importance of reading nutrition facts' labels on food packages. They worked with a partner to compare nutrition facts from cereal boxes; determining the cereal with the best nutritional value. They completed their comparisons on a graphic organizer and then used the information to create a new cereal. The students were very creative in designing the covers, selecting names, listing ingredients and nutrients for their new cereal boxes. We will finish this activity on Tuesday.
Have a great weekend!
Sincerely,
Mrs. J. Bretl
