classroom work is completed.

What if I have food allergies?

Mrs. Crahan sends home a letter to parents on the first day of class 
informing them of class expectations and requesting medical information. There
are some accommodations that can be made. If the allergies are
critical, other class arrangements can be made.

pyramid / fats, sugar and salt / how to read a food label / fast food / meal
planning / food and kitchen safety / What shape is your food pyramid? / a
community service project / the digestive system / protein and carbohydrates
