This text set aims to provide resources that showcase the connection of food to the Sonoran Desert and academic learning for our students that live in the Southwest. The text-set will guide teachers to use students' home language, family values/traditions/background, academic/non-academic experiences, and interests that support students' academic journeys holistically. A key fund of knowledge in every culture is food and it can help us in representing the students in their learning subjects and helping them make different connections to the place they live in.
