writing assignment
I put four different kinds of cheese on the kid's plates. They had to taste each one and write about it or draw pictures to describe it. They then had to order them from their favorite to their least favorite. Some words they used to describe them- lots of holes, yellow, white, good, sharp. We used mozzerrella, swiss, ramano, and cheddar.
