SPOTLIGHT ON INSTRUCTION

Ms. Russell's Foods Class has begun final exam presentations. During the next two weeks, students will choose a recipe and demonstrate how to prepare it in front of the class. Throughout the semester students have created their own "recipe book" to take with them and use in the future. In this class, students learn skills that will be used the rest of life. Many students prepare the recipes used in class for their family and friends to enjoy at home.
