Disgusting! Or is it? 4th grade has been working on disgusting foods paper. Each student had to choose a food commonly considered to be disgusting, then write a paper convincing readers to try it! Mrs. Henegar's class wrapped up the project with a disgusting foods tasting. They were very adventurous eaters with 7 out of 10 students finding a new food that they enjoy!
