We also finished up our chapter on ratios and instrumentally put it to practice in the cafe by creating no bake cookies from recipes that had to be scaled up or down accordingly. The scholars did a great job figuring the math and making the cookies. There were five different cookies created, bacon/chocolate, strawberry/white chocolate, pecan, chocolate chip, and gingerbread. Everyone got the chance to sample each of the five cookies and we had enough to share with Mr. Keddington's class and the administration.
This coming week Mrs. Cardinal will be in on Monday and Tuesday to sub for me while I run a half marathon in Las Vegas. I will be driving back Tuesday and hopefully make it to school in time for the Town Hall Meeting at 6:30. I hope to see you there if you have an opinion about the 7th and 8th grade addition.
Have a great weekend!
