Make it Monday! Connor decided to make Chicken Quesadillas this week. He used this crockpot recipe from Six Sisters' stuff for the chicken. To assemble the actual quesadillas he added chicken, and cheese to the flour tortillas and fried them in a little butter. They were Yummy! Today we learned about the effect salt has on ice. We watched this video on youtube, and did this Experiment. Another fun one is to explore how quickly different types of salt melt the ice with this experiment.
Today we are taking a closer look at Rocks and Minerals.
