It's All About the Chili!

We may be experiencing some unseasonably warm weather in Iowa, but it has been awfully "Chili" at PrairieWood this week!  The folks at the Linn Mar Success Center asked us to join in their 2nd Annual Chili feed.  We spent our cooking time this week preparing three very special chili's: Superhero Chili, Cha Cha Chili, and Cowgirl Chili.  We even made posters and decorated our tables in the theme of our chili.  Today we faced the judges.  We made good eye contact, spoke clearly, and shared about our chili.  Then we got to taste and enjoy everyone's creations for lunch.  It was a fun learning experience for everyone involved!  Our featured blogger this week is Kaitlyn.  Here is what she has to say about her week at PrairieWood...

"This week at PrairieWood I learned to find milk at Hy-Vee all by myself!  I enjoyed work.  I was challenged by getting the right numbered sizers at work.  At PrairieWood I would like to learn more about sweeping up popcorn.  I also learned I need to learn when to push the tape for my bus stop."

Enjoy the pictures from today's competition...
