This week we began our preparations to present a clicker book about composting to the foods classes. As my students were familiar with the clicker book I created for them on composting, we decided to use that as the base for our presentation. Slide by slide we have been going through and looking at the words and pictures to decide if these are the messages and images they want to share with their peers. I was pleasantly surprised at how much ownership they wanted to take over the process - right down to resizing the pictures and text boxes! This means things are taking longer than I thought they would, but we still hope to be able to present by Tuesday. Stay tuned for pictures and an update on how things went!
In other news, we experimented with making our own homemade apple juice today. We received our third shipment of apples through the BC School Fruit and Vegetable Nutrition Program and thought to expand our repertoire beyond applesauce. We had a great discussion about the difference between fresh and store bought apple juice and everyone enjoyed it (despite the fact that it was cloudy and brown - not clear and yellow). Fresh is best!
