Character Week & Nutrition

Next week we will finish up learning about all of the food groups. We will learn about how people everywhere need food for energy. We will learn about what people from other cultures eat and even have some samples from other countries. Right now we have a guest speaker. Mrs. AS24 will be coming in to share some food and teach us about the culture of India. Other cultures we will learn about are Mexico, Japan, and Italy. If you have anything you would like to send in or teach us about these countries (food or culture) please let me know. Please remember anything you bring or send in for this will need to be store bought and not baked or made at home. Thank you for your understanding. We look forward to the many opportunities and experts we have within our classroom families. Thank you!
