A Trip Through Louisiana History

Today the kids experienced a culture lesson from Louisiana. Many of them have lived here their whole 12 years of existence and never been to the Louisiana Museum or State Capital. The fun facts learned today was a culture experience for the children and some of the adults as well. Everyone took away something they didn't have prior knowledge of. It was a day filled with fun activities and lots of sight seeing. The city of Baton Rouge is a beautiful place and they got to see how it came about.

So Can we get in it?......Um no!!

MILK AND CEREAL!!!!

Today the food topic was cereal. All the kids raised their hands when asked who eats cereal for breakfast. The lesson was based around the types of cereals and what you can add to the ones that aren't as sweet to make them delicious. Many of the cereal consumed for breakfast are consumed with sugar. The kids we given a worksheet to help them better understand food labels. After the lesson was over the kids enjoyed a brunch of a variety of cereals . They were able to add berries or bananas to there favorite cereals to have their own creations.
