Mrs. Schmitt's Foods I students did a food lab called "Cake Contest."
The students were to create a cake without a recipe choosing their ingredients and measurements! Ingredients they could choose from: flour, sugar, milk, baking powder, baking soda, eggs, vegetable oil, yeast, cocoa, salt, water, vanilla, lemon flavoring, almond flavoring and/ or water. Some cakes were very dense because they chose too much liquid and some didn't rise well because they didn't choose the correct leveling ingredients. The activity helped the students understand the importance of Food Science and following a recipe when baking.
5th graders are learning about organization in guidance!

New Hampton High School will be returning to full in-person learning on Thursday, October 1st. The Iowa Department of Public Health released new guidance today on mask wearing and quarantine. We feel with our current low rates (we don't report numbers when it's below 5 and district-wide it's well below 5) and this new guidance, we can safely bring back all students to the high school at this time.
With the new guidance, wearing masks is as important as ever, so we will continue to wear them when we cannot social distance. Everyone has done a great job at keeping our students and staff safe. It will be good to have everyone back together on Thursday.
