Eating a whole plant

 We have learned all the plant parts and their function, so it was a prefect time to show the class the different plant parts we eat. First, each child was given their placemat. Then we talked about each type of food that was handed out. Once the food was discussed, the students had to sort the food into the correct square. As we reviewed the foods, the kiddos ate each piece.

The discussion that took place as the children were tasting the foods was very funny. Not a lot of broccoli or cauliflower was eaten, but at least they tried a very small piece. I even had one little girl take a piece of lettuce and crumbled tiny pieces of all the foods onto the lettuce and told me she made a salad!

Next, we are moving onto photosynthesis and project time!
