Bent Mountain Elementary School experiences Ancient Rome
"Bent Mountain third graders are currently studying Ancient Rome. Recently they were visited by a Roman soldier, parent Rick Derrico, and then ate a meal at a "take-away bar" or popina. Their food choices reflected the diet of the Romans which consisted of foods grown in the area and those imported from conquered lands--a diverse menu of fruits, vegetables, meats, and grains. Third grade teacher, Barbara Guynn, explains the food choices including snails that the students have to pick from the shells. Kaitlyn, a third grade student, contemplates the fattened snail that she is about to eat."
