Iron Chef: 

In preparation for Iron Chef, find a delicious and exciting recipe that includes our two main ingredients: beets and lettuce. Remember, whatever we make, we need to be able to serve a bite to the entire middle school.

Mia's Art Class: 

MJ-Please put on your homework list to visit this site and READ about the 7 different types of marine pollution. Hopefully they will have picked  ONE they want to do art on by next week and know a few facts about it.

www.fromthebowseat.org

This website is really an art contest (top winner is 1000.00!)  but it is also their last project.  They can choose to submit or not, but it is their assignment to do the art project.  Thanks, Mia

Could you ask your kids to tell you what they learned after reading about NOISE POLLUTION...or OIL POLLUTION...or SEWAGE AND RUNOFF POLLUTION...OR MARINE DEBRIS pollution, or ACIDIFICATION POLLUTION or INVASIVE SPECIFIES POLLUTION

Or even get them to LIST the seven types..

PLEASE include in your "homework postings" this week that students should have a plan for their final art project. This means, knowing what type of ocean pollution they are going to do art about, as well as what form of art format they will choose. 

Don't forget, you need to finish your Term 4 Service and Garden hours by Monday, June 11th.
