The elective Know What You Eat
teaches about the importance of knowing what you eat and how it affects
you. Mr Grimm, the teacher of this elective, incorporates hands-on
activities and other things such as learning, cooking and preparing
food. It is a sixth grade elective with seven students. Several weeks
ago, they learned about juicing.
Most recently, the class made Collard Green Wraps. The students
reacted well to the collard greens, which may come as a surprise to many
who are suspicious of green leafy things.
Here is the recipe:
Spread hummus onto a large collard green leaf. Top with sliced bell
peppers, alfalfa sprouts, shredded carrots, and diced or thinly sliced
cucumber. You can add more of whatever other vegetables you like, and
then wrap it up!
Louie Pardo, a sixth grader in the elective said "It was interesting.
It did not look appetizing but it was surprisingly really good”. His
classmate Maryam Dar enthused that they were “great, healthy, and
awesome!” Emma Weigele was also impressed, calling the Collard Green
Wraps “delicious, healthy, fun and easy to make!”
