Food Bank

Our trip to the food bank was a wonderful learning oportunity this week.  We got to learn a lot about how the food bank worked, how many people it served and where it got all of the supplies and personell needed to run it.  The students had great questions for the workers.

We made sure to ask about what kind of food the food bank needed right now because very soon we will be doing a food drive.

 
We took notes on some of the statistics of running the business so that we can use them in our new math project.  We will be learning what an average family spends on groceries each month and compare this cost to the average low income families monthly budget. (This also gives us a great opportunity to work on our estimating and averaging skills in math)

STAY TUNED FOR MORE NEWS ON THE UPCOMING FOOD DRIVE! :)
