Fifth graders recently finished the novel Esperanza Rising. Today they got to try each of the foods from the story. They tried: grapes, papaya, figs, almonds, guava, onion, potatoes, asparagus, cantaloupe, peaches, plums, and avocados.
Four students liked every food and many found out they liked a food they’ve never tried before.
USD 311 BOE and staff members assisted the 4th graders with their "How To Draw..." projects. Each 4th grader had to create his/her own drawing and then accurately explain it in 10 steps to an adult partner. The kids accepted the challenge of explaining their projects to the adult volunteers and were very successful!
