This past week, we had a parent lunch, which several of you attended. Students brought food related to their latest project. Students are currently researching a food-producing plant that has its origin in the the “New World.” Students are researching such things as their plant’s history, uses, varieties, and wild relatives. Through this project, students are learning how the Age of Exploration ushered in age of cultural blending and transition.

Part of the parent lunch featured a poetry reading from students’ most recent project.
