Thunder Lab

Today in Foods we had our Thunder Lab... For the most part. :)  First period had a fire drill and we didn't have enough time to do the pretzels so we improvised. They made cake in a mug with smoothies.  The other classes all made pretzels and smoothies.  Here is a shot of the pretzels...

My room smells great, but it is awfully hot!!  All the ovens cranked up the temperature of the room!

My New Homeroom

Here is a shot of my new homeroom.  I am an 8th grade homeroom teacher this year. So far my class has been great... I have a good group!!

Fresh Salsa

Today in Foods we made fresh salsa.  I wish I could convey smells through this blog.  My room smells great!  Cilantro and lime... mmmm. The students did a great job with the lab!

Foods First Mini-Lab

In Foods yesterday we had our first mini-lab.  The students did fairly well considering they didn't know any of the rules.  The product turned out okay (a few groups did the math wrong), and the labs were clean at the end of the hour.  So far, I have great Foods classes!!
