We loved learning from Clean Eats MI & One Life Fitness as we continue our research for Food Truck projects. We also learned about buying, renovating & restoring houses. It’s exciting to make connections between economics lessons and these businesses.

Students are using illustrations to aid in comprehension. Sometimes words are not enough for us to understand something, and as text complexities increase, illustrations can help support comprehension. @DeerfieldNovi #DFCAREs #NoviPride
