Hello,
In our international studies unit, students are researching foreign countries and how they differ from our country. One of the topics that came up today, due to some pictures that I projected of families standing in front of a week's worth of food, was how different that diets are around the world. The kids noticed more store bought goods in America, more beer and wine in Germany, more bread in Italy, more vegetables and fruits in Mexico, etc. Tonight's homework is related to these observations. Everyone in the class is supposed log everything that they eat and drink for the next 24 hours. Then we'll be able to compare what we eat to the rest of the world.
Our field trip to the Augusta State House and the Maine State Museum is scheduled for June 12. More details to follow. I'm sure to have a lot of parents wanting to volunteer. First come, first serve.
I've got to cut this short tonight. My wife is in NYC and I need to relieve the dogsitter.
Thanks for reading.
Mr. Shea
