Food: Haley House caters

"We figured out 1 kid = 1/2 food portion. Adults were 1 person = 1 portion. The total we had prepared was 35 so that was something like 25 kids plus 10 adults. I had asked Ros to tell me how many DSNI folks would want to eath that day and must have thought there would be 6 from YA."

Follow-up:

Students choose one of the three learning targets to draw about. They need to draw things they saw on the neighborhood walk or in the video, and write a sentence or two about it. Make sure students are evenly distributed between the 3 learning targets. Give them some time with the learning target worksheet (above) before they begin.

Thank-you letters to DSNI and Haley House.
