EEM - Want S'mores? It's more than a sweet treat - it's a great learning opportunity! Our class planned together to discuss ingredients and tools needed. We worked as a team to keep everything hygienic as we broke apart the chocolate and graham crackers, melted the marshmallows and chocolate, and assembled the S'mores. We then shared samples with teachers and staff around the school. The S'mores were delicious (and a little messy)!
