The kitchen staff hosted a K-6 Nutrition Advisory Council on Friday. Students had a great time learning about grains, veggies, fruits, and different sources of protein. Students worked hard and enjoyed their one-of-a-kind fruit parfaits!

Miss Davis' class finished up our Soundwave Unit by creating sound waves for high and low frequency pitch. Students worked in groups to discuss what the soundwaves should look like and then enjoyed creating and labeling their soundwaves together.

Today Miss Davis' 2nd Grade Class finished up Dr. Seuss Week by making some "Dr. Seuss Soup". All ten ingredients in the soup came from some of Dr. Seuss' favorite books. The students enjoyed reviewing the books as they personalized their own soup to eat. Some of the students favorite ingredients were Green Eggs and Ham, Hop on Pop Popcorn, and the Truffula Seeds.

In Miss Davis' 2nd Grade class we learned that the truffula trees are very important in Dr. Seuss' book, "The Lorax". The students then used their STEM skills and knowledge to create their own Truffula tree. We had some tall trees and some small trees, but they all held the truffula at the top.
