Brenda Vavrock, Safe Routes to School Coordinator, recently visited the fourth graders to share important information about bicycle safety. She reviewed the rules of the road and reminded students that biking on Main Street sidewalks is not allowed due to safety concerns. Brenda engaged students by sharing pictures and videos to reinforce these concepts. After her presentation, she also fitted helmets for students whose families had signed up to receive one. Thank you, Brenda, for taking the time to educate and support the students—your visit was truly appreciated!

Mrs. Schmitt has two sections of Foods II classes that are currently on their extensive dairy unit. They have learned about the nutrition of dairy, the variety, and how to carefully cook milk and cheese without scorching it. The labs for this unit were making vanilla and chocolate cooked pudding, old-fashioned ice cream, easy ice cream, and butter. The students also did a milk taste-testing lab and filled out a reflection sheet. Unfortunately, Mrs. Schmitt was busy helping, so few pictures were taken of all of their work. Mrs. Schmitt brought many of her dairy antiques (Schmitts were dairy farmers for years) for the students to participate in an activity of guessing gadgets from the past. A dairy carnival for New Hampton kindergarten students is in the planning process by the high school students.

7th grade FCS Group (Day Two students): This is the first year that I have done "Muffin Wars" with my 7th graders. The students have been learning about the importance of each part of a recipe and how to read a recipe. Each group chose between sweet or savory muffins, and then they had choices of what ingredients they would add into their muffins. They had a guided sheet with measurements, so the muffins would turn out if they followed the directions. They needed to choose a flour, liquid, flavorings, seasonings, and a stir-in option like berries, flavored chips, cocoa, etc. Then the 7th graders needed to write their own recipe and name their muffin creation. They had a guided recipe sheet to help them along. The winners of the first group were Dixie-Lynn, Megan, Paisley, Annalise, & Kadrian with the muffins called "Chocolate Cinnamon Swirl."

Mrs. Schmitt took her Advanced Foods students shopping for ingredients at our local Fareway. "We are so lucky to have such a great grocery store in town. Comparison shopping for groceries is such an important life skill for my students," said Schmitt.

Advanced Foods tested over their unit about casseroles and stir-fries. Then their favorite part was two different labs. 22 students (all boys and one girl) learned how to use a wok and the order of the steps to make a stir-fry. All of their ingredients need to be cut the same size, so it was also a good lab to review their knife skills. Advanced Foods students learned about the history of the casserole and all of the different ways you can make a hot dish. The casseroles and stir-fries took four days of classes, and they were amazingly delicious!

Advanced Foods has been working on learning about sauces, stews, and soups.
Here is a picture of a food science lab with the students learning how to make a roux. Every chef needs to know the importance of thickening a cream sauce with flour, butter, and milk, a French word called a "roux."

Last day of building for the 4th grade Dream Bedroom PBL project! These kids have been amazing—showing creativity, problem-solving, and so much perseverance as they brought their ideas to life with their 3D models.
This week, we’re shifting gears to writing as they draft persuasive letters to their parents, trying to convince them to make their dream bedrooms a reality. We can’t wait to see how they use their hard work and designs to support their arguments!

The 4th graders are showing incredible creativity and hard work during their dream bedroom PBL project- Day 4!
