Yesterday we had the opportunity to teach our 7th graders at Promise 2 about Ratios and Scaling of Numbers. We tied a West African Cabbage Salad to the lesson as they are learning about West Africa in History/Social Studies. We are always excited to show our students how the work they learn in school is connected to various careers. Thank you to all the students for providing Thank You cards.
