SAN DIEGO UNION TRIBUNE FOOD REPORTER--MARIA HUNT
by RUBEN LOZANO
For our Junteenth Departments, Maria Hunt told us about what she does as a food reporter for the San Diego Union Tribune. She goes to new restaurants to see if they are any good. She sees if it takes a long time to get the food, or if the food is all messy on the plate. She also reports on whether the food tastes good. She uses this information to write a report in the newspaper. Then people can read the article and know if the restaurant is any good. She showed the cooking department how to make a red lemonade. You can find the recipe on this website. By the way, the lemonade was good and sour.
Check out the Cooking Department. Maria Hunt, from the San Diego Union Tribune taught us how to make red lemonade and sweet potato pie.
Cultural Arts learned about quilting, and made some quilt patterns.

Below is an article that Asher and Elizabeth wrote about our trip to the African-American

The Museum School kids went to a museum called Casa Del Rey Moro. Casa Del Rey Moro means house of the Moorish King. It was lots of fun!
We went by trolley

to Old
Town. 
The museum was split up into different parts. There where three rooms and one hall. Each room had a name. We went inside the museum and we each had a paper with questions on it. We split into groups. There were 3 rooms. To get the answers you had to go in the rooms. We rotated through each room. One room was named the United States Room. There was a list of things African Americans inventors in there. Another room was called the African American Room. It had a bunch of information on Egyption kings and queens. The last room, was called the American History Room. It had a realy cool snake in it. When it was almost time to leave the museum, we went outside in the back and learned a lot about the snake, like how well it could see at the point of shedding. Chuck Ambers showed us the difference between a rattle snake bite and a gofer snake bite, he also showed us his gofer snake it it had blue eyes because it was shedding, also and the skin of it it felt like bubbly paper.
Now I will teach you an experiment so you can see how well the gopher snake can see at the point of shedding. Look up at the sun with your eyes closed. Now wave your hand in front of your face. Did you see your handŐs shadow? ThatŐs how well the snake can see when itŐs ready to shed it's skin.
At the end, we bought some sodas there. Then we had lunch at the park.
While we were in Old Town we visited some other museum also.
