Food and Fitness E-Term

Each week our school enjoys a week of experiential learning. For all of my years so far, I've accompanied either the 7th or 8th grade on their class trips. This year I co-led a high school e-term experience that we called Food and Fitness. The idea was to learn about healthy habits in eating and fitness through hands-on experiences in cooking and various types of physical activity. Here are some photos from our week of learning, which I enjoyed immensely.
