This week in Beyond Cooking, we made cinnamon tortilla chips with fruit salsa. The kids had fun while working on their fine motor skills (cutting, chopping, and slicing fruit). We made comparisions between our fruit salsa and the tomato salsa and used a vin diagram to organize our information. We measured and mixed, sprinkled and sifted. It was a very delicious treat!
In science, we began talking about The Earth and our environment. The primary and inters classes read the book "On Earth" by G. Brian Karas and identified and located all seven continents. The uppers created Earth puzzles and began discussing biomes and animal habitats.
This week our students continued tomake excellent progress with their overall handwriting skills. Several of our students are enjoying learning cursive. This week we also focused on building our upper body strength and maintaining postures.
