Harvest School Display

I usually don't post school stuff on our family blog...but I thought my students did really well on their harvest projects that I put out in the hall.  I hated taking it down, but it is time for Christmas/Winter stuff.  We also studied healthy foods and the food pyramid.  On Tuesday, we worked together to planned a healthy lunch. On Wednesday, we walked to Yoke's, got a tour of the grocery store, and then each kindergartner had to find their grocery item.  On Friday, the students took turns cooking part of the lunch with me in the morning so the feast would be ready for lunch in the classroom celebration.  (I strategically pick who gets to use knives). The students made vegetable chicken soup, pita sandwiches, quesadillas, fruit salad, veggie platters, and "dirt" pudding.  Then half the class dressed up as Pilgrims and the other half as Native Americans before feasting.
