Monday

Tomorrow we will be having school pictures. Please make sure that you bring the envelopes back if you plan on buying pictures. We will be taking everyone's picture, but if you plan on buying you must have the paper filled out and the money turned in. There will be make-up pictures later in the year.

Today we learned about bacteria and fungus. We learned that bacteria helps make many of the foods we like such as swiss cheese, sauerkraut, yogurt, kefir, sourdough, olives, and sour cream. We also learned that we need to keep our hands and cell phones clean if we want to protect ourselves from bacteria.

We also learned that fungus is used to grow and prepare the cacao bean from which we get chocolate. Fungus is also found in mushrooms and blue cheese.

After discussing these foods the students were able to taste many of them, if they wanted to.
