K.F.C YUMMY!!!

Kentucky fried chicken yummy. Do you know about the people who LOVE to chew on the end of a chicken bone. Don't you just wish that you had that for your lunch well I do NOT!!! I gotcha!!! 

Really! Did you know that  Chicken bones were used to find out if how old the bones were so that they could find out if the polynesians had come to the island and left with chickens or brought chickens. They also found out that chickens came from polynesia to South America. Radiocarbon date of the chicken bones is pre colombian (Relating to the history and cultures of the Americas before the arrival of Columbus in 1492).

Symbolism

In Extension we have been learning about symbolism. We were given a task to find a partner and you and you partner had to tell each other what is on of the things that are special to you. Mine right now is Jesus. Then we had to draw a symbol that represents it.
The picture below represents my symbol that my partner Talita created. She drew a bible and a hand reaching out to it.
