Website Wednesday



Where Did Mozzarella Come From?


Do you like pizza?  Yummy!  Pepperoni pizza, Cheese pizza, Canadian Bacon pizza - there are so many choices!   Most pizzas have mozzarella cheese on top.
"Mozzarella is considered the best cheese for pizza for a few reasons: its delicate, milky flavor, its smooth, elastic texture, and its fabulous meltability."  (from The Wisconsin Cheeseman website)

Mozzarella cheese originated in Italy.  There is a region where cows cannot thrive, but water buffaloes do.  Humans there took the milk from water buffaloes and created the mozzarella cheese.

This fun fact can be found on the website that is being shared today:

Blue Sky Science

Videos about various topics are found here:  "Why is the sky blue?", "How are gummy bears made?", How do fireflies glow?"  Students ask the question, and a scientist gives the answer!  Exploring Blue Sky Science is a wonderful way to spend a rainy day. Or a sunny one, too!


Today is a "C" day

Kindergarten and First Graders:  Here is what my paragraph about kinkajous looks like:

What is a Kinkajou?
A Kinkajou is a small mammal that weighs 3 to 7 pounds.  They live in the tropical forests of Central and South America in trees.  They have a strong tail that they can use to grip.  The kinkajou's tail allows them to hang upside down.  Kinkajous eat fruit, small mammals, and honey.  I hope to see a real kinkajou someday!

I want to add an image of a kinkajou to my document:
Isn't it cute?  When I use Microsoft Word (which is what we would use in class), I can use the Insert button to look for images online.  I want to be sure to say where I got the picture from.  Here I got the picture of a kinkajou from Shutterstock.
We'll put it all together next!
