Jan 3-6 Intro to Consumer Foods

This week we are getting to know each other and learning about what people like and dislike in terms of food. Students will be introduced to our textbook, Discovering Food and Nutrition, by the end of the week.

Parent Letters went home on Monday, January 2 and are due by Wednesday, January 4 for full credit (10 points). Partial credit (5 points) can be earned on Thursday or Friday of this week. After this week, students may earn only one point for the assignment which is still better than no points.
