Review

To help guide our posts, I have decided to make my first blog as a review of the things we have learned throughout our unit. While you are writing your comments, I encourage you to refer back to this page to help you classify the food you have ate.

After reading this post, please comment what your favorite food is and which area it comes from (fruit and vegetables, meat and alternatives, grains, or dairy).
