by Jacob P. April 19th, 2010| Elementary, Teen Perspective, Teens, Tweens
Just a few days ago, I  had a school project where I had to make an atomic model, and I could use food to make it.  I, as with most of the class, chose food.  Now, cooking with children can be dangerous, but fun, if done right.

by Louise March 8th, 2010| Teens, Tweens
