Students in Mrs. Schafer's Parenting class made Sloppy Joe Buggies as a nutritious meal activity. We discussed how this activity works support the child's whole development through physical, social, emotional and intellectual means. Children would learn about good nutrition and shapes and colors. This would help them physically by using small motor skills and providing essential nutrients. Socially, they would learn to share the ingredients and equipment and emotionally, by feeling good about their skills and abilities. We are planning even more hands on activities for children in this last quarter of the 2024-2025 school year.
