The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade classes learned about the importance of whole grains. We all made a list of what grain foods we eat and which ones can be whole grains. Did you know that wheat bread can be either “whole grain” or “enriched wheat” bread? The word to look for on the list of ingredients is “whole”. Check to see what kind of bread is in your cupboard today!
