The final stop of the day was at a small chicha house. Chicha or chicha morada is a sweet fermented corn or purple corn drink with a low alcohol content of about 3 percent. We each tried a…

Hello families, Amazingly, we are about to start the third week of school. I am really happy to say that the class is getting use to the routines and adjusting great! I am already so proud of them. Since the class is progressing so well, I think it is a great time to introduce the new class pets on Monday. Their names are Sweet-Pig and Piglet; two female guinea pigs. Last year I wrote a grant to fund purchasing most of the items needed. Ongoing supplies are needed for the care of the guinea pigs…

Some people do not even get to finish eating their meals at lunch as they are so rushed to get back to class. If there were a longer lunch period, students would not rush. Students would have a little more time to work on their homework in class and possibly get that done in class. Students who are tardy…

Avocado Toast Such a basic breakfast but…

My best memory with food is when I used to go over to my grandma and grandpa’s house after every day of school. I would always get my mom to make me a turkey sandwich with mayonnaise, mustard, and cheddar cheese on sweet honey wheat bread. The bread always had a fluffiness to it and it was always soft with a golden brown color. My grandma always had mass amounts of the ingredients that were always better than the ones bought at the grocery store. She always told me that meat and bread freshly…

When Michelle Obama passed the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act in 2012 it started making school lunches healthier and students grumpier. When adult think of their school…
