We teachers need our coffee, right? I have a confession to make. I LOVE coffee! ☕
I always have! When I was a little girl, I would steal a sip from my mother’s cup. They say that a child’s growth can be stunted by drinking coffee…I am proof that is not true! 😊
National Coffee Day happens every year near the end of September. I have a great resources to teach my students about coffee as a commodity. Students do not now what a commodity is. We grow so little coffee in the United States, but drink so much that we have to import almost $7 billion worth every year!
