Ms. Rojas' k,1,2 classroom concluded its study on birds with an Earth Day celebration! The students used their fine motor skills and give bird beaks (pliers, tweezers and chopsticks) a try as they sorted seeds, made bird feeders and went on a nature scavenger hunt to celebrate Earth Day!
Food and Nutrition class is finishing its fruit unit. One project was learning about how to use a knife to cut fruit and vegetables. Students also cut lemons for water and had a mini food photography lesson. They also made Furutsu Sandos — creative fruit sandwiches — from Japan. There is a special technique with creating the sandwiches — cutting on the diagonal to create a presentation of fruit and cream.
The students also made fruit pizzas. All projects were created and made by the students.
