We Completed the worksheet for Do You Really Need It? We discussed what we use, what is a need, or a want, which electronic items stayed plugged in, and which are plugged in only when needed. We also talked about things we could do instead of using our electronics. After a day or two, we discussed if we used our selected item, and what we could do better, or what we did instead.

We discussed where our food comes from. We collected food stickers from home to see where our produce has come from. We also brainstormed foods grown locally during the spring/summer. Students worked on using a locally grown food to share a recipe. We also learned about wheat and the process from seed to table using a book called Seeds to Bread. They worked on a recipe that uses flour. This was relevant to them because in Alberta, we grow lots of wheat.
