Comida Latina.... LATIN FOOD FIESTA!

Comida Latina Proyecto

*latin food project

Estimado Parents, Guardians, and Students, 

It has been un año fantástico in 6^thgrade! We have learned to:

·         conjugate ER and AR verbs in present tense, Spanish songs,

·          vocabulary on transportation, locations, sports, numbers, telling time, restaurant, and more.

·         we are impressed with their work ethic, capability & willingness to communicate in the target language, and appreciate a different culture.

But… we are not quite done yet!

We have one final Spanish project…a FIESTA. They want a party, they have to prepare it!

This project will be a way for students to learn about the Latin culture through taste. They will learn that the Latin culture has more to offer than spicy salsa and tacos J

PROJECT:

Your child, in a group of four, will be assigned to a Spanish speaking country. They will create their own RESTAURANTE so they will research currency used, main produce grown, and any cultural influencesthat affect foods eaten in today’s culture. Students will have time in class to research what food is typically eaten and prepared in that country. Using their researched information students will complete two tasks.

1^st: Create a poster size menu for their restaurant that will represent their assigned country and above information. Monday’s class: 23 de Mayo / Tuesday class: 22 de Mayo

2^nd:  make & bring in authentic food to be eaten by their classmates. Each country (restaurant) must have a main dish, a beverage, snack/appetizer, and dessert.  Due Thursday, 24 de Mayo.

We realize that this is a busy time of year, so they should by the end of this week have brought home a recipe for you to approve of and plan on. If the recipe is too complicated or doesn’t fit your schedule please contact me and we can work something out.

Students will need to make and prepare  only samplings, enough for 20 people to SAMPLE!  (so probably NO need to double any recipes, maybe even cut them in half) We discourage “store bought” or made only by parents, we really want the students to be involvedJ.  We leave the final outcome to your discretion.

INGREDIENTS:

Many/most ingredients can be found at

·         Meijers or your local grocery store.

·         ALDI has cheap Mangos - $.80/each

·         the “Nacional Supermercado” at 1610 Clyde Park Sw, Wyoming.

·         La Tropical Market & Grill (from the 5^th grade Scavenger Hunt).

·         A GRCM family owns DUTLER’s Foods on Madison & Hall.

These are very user friendly store with English speakers to help you find specific items. Please do not hesitate to call/email us with questions or concerns… we are happy to help. If a recipe calls for an ingredient you will not use again, save receipt and I can buy it from you.

Finally, the food prepared must be brought to school with all necessary serving wear and small paper products on…Thursday 24 de Mayo. We will start set up during Lunch at 11:30 and eat during 5^th hour; 12:14-1:04. Dishes can be brought in any time that morning and set in the gym (labeled). We also understand that some dishes meant to be served “hot” will not be, and others intended to be served “chilled” might be room temperature! I am sure it will still all taste good!

Looking forward to ending the school year with some delicious comida latina J.

PLEASE, COME JOIN US in the gym for our FIESTA! You are your family members are MORE than welcome to stay and experience it all!

Sra. Rebekah Bagnall (bbagnall@grcs.org322-4188)

Sra. Johana Rodriguez Quist (jrquist@grcs.org   322-8068)

*P.S  Please have your child bring any serving dishes or utensils LABELED that are needed for their specific dish. Remember, small serving sizes. Any leftover food must be taken home!

Teenage Girls Haircuts and Hairstyles

Teenagers are attached to saying Oh, which is so last year (or last month or last week), and they are always looking for the modern, Youngster Women Locks thoughts to suit their Locks. Youngster Women Locks thoughts are not so modified from adult tresses styles, except that they may be a bit more vivid and change often.

The Best Youngster Women Locks styles are for those "Hairstyles" that can be different often; a youngster will want to use her hairsedustraight one day like Jennifer Anniston, and sportcurlyhairs the next. Therefore, it is a great concept to joinTeen Women Locks styles into a teenlifestyle which is effective and often in fluidity. Youngster Women Locks styles should be fast, simple and not too complex. However, this is always Homecoming and the party, so Youngster Women Locks styles to fit appropriate events are always required. Most teenagers are effective with tasks, sessions and extra-curricular actions, so a design that needs a lot of servicing is usually not the best for an adolescent (unless she loves investing time doing her hair.

The same hair do can look smoother with a bit of mousse instead of gel and by blow-drying the hairwith a conventional clean. Extra preferred among Youngster Women Hairstylesis the bob.It is pretty flexible, simple to sustain and can be official or informal, based on how it is designed. Your bob can be created completely immediately with a seduiron, or curled at the end and around the hits with a short-barrelledcurlingiron.
