New electives are beginning since we are starting the 3rd quarter. This time the electives are cooking, weight training, and conversational French. The cooking students were very excited when their teacher Mrs. Rasmussen told them there first day in the class that they were cooking breakfast!
First, Mrs. Rasmussen talked about why its important we should eat breakfast. She listed reasons like, it helps us to concentrate and remember things better in school. After that, she taught us how to make things similar to pancakes, but were much healthier. They contained things likes oats, egg whites, and more. While some people were doing that, others were making yogurt parfaits. She then showed us how to make poached eggs. A lot of the students were excited to see that because they have always seen people make them on the cooking channels and have always wanted to try them out for themselves!
The students loved being able to try everything they were learning to cook. But right before the class ended Mrs. Rasmussen said that they were going to make smoothies. Everyone was very excited for that. She showed the students that if you don’t like to eat breakfast, just adding some protein powder, lots of fruits, some spinach would give you have a complete, healthy, and delicious tasting breakfast right there! Students were a little skeptical about the spinach and protein powder part. But when they tried it, and realized it tasted like a regular smoother, they were very impressed!
All the students are very excited to learn new things in all of these elective classes, and they are a great thing for students to look forward to in a week!
