To end our unit on Mexico in the Cooking Around the World class, we pre-ordered at "Cinco De Mayo Mexican Restaurant." The food was very authentic. Then we walked to Daisy's Mexican Grocery Store and purchased some items that you cannot find anywhere else. The students were so well-behaved too!
Knife cutting skills continue in 7th FCS class. Last week they cut up vegetables and made a dip. They learned how to peel and slice. How to make a vegetable safe to cut so it does not roll. This week they made veggie cars to hone their knife skills.
The fourth-grade classes were visited by Joanne Tupper, our Ag. Partner in Education. She provided information about their pork operation and described how math is used on a daily basis. They learned about the different types of meat that we can get from pigs. She also brought two piglets for the students to pet.

The Cooking Around the World class has been learning about Mexico's people, culture, and food. Here are some pictures from their Mexican Food Lab of fajitas, mini tacos, and chilaquiles verdes.
THANK YOU to everyone who ordered strawberries and supported our students. Mrs. Schmitt made some of her strawberries into fresh strawberry pie. A suggestion to keep your strawberries fresher: store them in a Mason jar; it really works.
If you did not pick up your strawberries and / or butter braids last night, then please pick them up TONIGHT before 5:30 pm in the FCS room (the old cafeteria). Park in front of the high school and come in the front door and turn left. Thank you!

A full-size Hershey's chocolate candy bar was provided to each student as a practical teaching tool to help them understand the idea of equivalent fractions. The students also talked about how to multiply or divide to produce equivalent fractions after splitting the candy bar to represent the fraction in question.

Kids Feeding Kids is a program that helps with food insecurities. Students made meals that can be frozen and handed out to families. The students made 61 meals.
The students learned from a professional chef how to Mise En Place, Knife Skills, time management, how to follow directions, and prep ingredients. The students started with a scavenger hunt on finding the equipment needed to make macaroni and cheese (with Great Northern Beans for protein) topped with Panko bread crumbs, cheese, and parsley. You will see from the pictures how hard the students worked. New Hampton Middle School was awarded "Most Organized" out of the six schools that attended. A huge "thank you" to Kristie Kuhse and Waverly Shell-Rock for this opportunity.
