Crickets and plantains for lunch!

Today we had the pleasure of a visit with guest author, Jan Reynolds. She shared many stories about her travels and adventures around the globe. To celebrate and honor the food and cultures from all over the world, we were given a choice to eat plantains and crickets at lunch today. Jan encouraged students to try new things and take risks. One second grader said, 
" I did it! I ate a cricket and that's a risk because I've never eaten a cricket before!" Thank you Jan for inspiring us. We look forward to writing about our own future travels.
