Another World Traveler

Martha P. King Elementary has different programs for each grade level. Each program is done outside the curriculm for the most part and the children have to do a project to earn their status as a World Traveler, a Nevada Citizen or a Great American. Zach did all of these projects too, you may recall last year's Civil War Re-enactment.

So Rae did two countries, Greece and Brazil. I somehow manged to delete the only photo I took of Rae's Grecian Temple. Dang it! Anywhoo for her Brazil project we attempted to make Brazillian Cheese Bread a.k.a Pao De Queijo. While she and her class mates were impressed, I however had my brazillian friend Lena's to compare to. I'll take hers over the internet attempt any day.

All I can say is Brazillians cannot have a clean kitchen making this stuff, it is the stickiest messiest concotion ever! Well for this American anyway. After further research (after the fact) I learned, we made them too big and we were supposed to oil up our hands before forming the balls... oooohh that makes SO much more sense. It's okay, what do 3rd graders know. They all wanted the recipe. The other good news is, nobody got sick. Score!

Here she is getting the coveted dog-tag and with her 3rd grade teacher Mrs. Fecteau.
And finally, Raegan is an official MPK World Traveler! She deserves kudos here. She was very motivated and did most of the work all on her own. Give a shout out to Rae!
