Food day


It is a really good day in World Geography room 305. Today is food day....the students have been working hard on the Map a Meal project and are bringing in food today from the project. So we are going to be eating lots of food from South Asia, East Asia, and Southeast Asia. So far we have had excellent noodles, rice balls, dumplings, and potatoes. I can't wait to try what everyone has brought. It is getting towards the end of the year and this is an excellent way to begin winding down. I think the students also learned a valuable lesson about procrastination when the website they needed to use for the project went down the night before the project was due. Hopefully in the future they will not wait until the last minute to work on a major project.

If I could go anywhere in the world on vacation right now I think I would go some where in Southeast Asia....like...Thailand or Cambodia. I would like to see the temples and statuary from the Angkorian Empire. I usually want to go to Europe but I think Southeast Asia is so beautiful and mysterious. It is so lush and green. I think so much of it has not been touched by the human need to make things bigger, faster, and better. I would also like to explore China..... One of these days I will go but until then I will continue to dream.

Hey Mrs. Hollrah, it's Austin Ard.

Thanks for letting us have that food day. Although some of the food looked a bit strange... some of it was actually pretty good. Also, I have always enjoyed running. I like the feelng of the wind blowing on my face while I'm running. Thanks for asking!
