Tacky Tourist Day and 4B's American Grub

Here in 4B we are in STATE Overdrive.  Students have just completed their US tests and are now working to complete their state reports and Microsoft Publisher pages for our class cookbook, 4B's American Grub.  

BUT WE NEED YOUR HELP!  Students need to pick a recipe (one that they can make and share with the class next Tuesday) and one that has a main ingredient that grows in their state.  An example would be Apples for Rhode Island.  Apples are RI's number one food crop.  My recipe might be apple fritters. 

I believe that the students should have a good understanding of the agriculture of their state and should be able to share that information with you.  However, they need your help picking a recipe that you feel comfortable making with them and sharing.

I am asking that students check and confirm their ideas as soon as possible (Friday at the latest).  They each have an editable recipe card in their Google Drive that they need to use to write down the recipe and directions.  They will then share this back with me so that I can print them off for our cookbook.  Cookbooks will be organized and distributed to all families on Tuesday afternoon.

Tuesday is Tacky Tourist Day in 4B!  Your children are to dress like those crazy tourist we all see when we are on vacation.  Socks and sandals, mismatched clothes, hats, ...the works.  Then, at 2:30 that day, parents are invited to join us for a tasting of all the "4B American Grub."  However, parents will not be allowed through our doors unless they too are dressed as tacky tourists.  It is so much fun!

Parents may send their child's food to school on Tuesday morning or bring it with them when they come at 2:30.

 I thank you in advance for all your help with this project.
