I hope everyone has a wonderful and restful break. We are back in our routine and continuing with our work. The students should be coming home with new reading books this week. Please ask your child about his/her reading assignment and please make sure you are signing the reading log. This is what I use to hand out Free Pizza coupons.
Before the break, we finished our fall vegetable plate waste trials. In August, the students wasted an enormous amount of broccoli and carrots. We planted both vegetables in our garden and while they were growing, we researched ways to make them taste better. The second grade held a recipe contest and the winning recipes were Carrot muffins and broccoli with parmesan cheese and garlic powder. The students harvested their own broccoli and carrots and prepared them for the cafeteria to cook. This time, they didn't waste the vegetables!!! We will be starting over again soon and finding another vegetable we can grow and improve. If you would like the recipes please let me know. Your kids really ate their vegetables!!!
