Seeds or Not!

The children came to pick a fruit from the tree or a vegetable from the garden and we looked inside to see if there were seeds.  The topic of seeds was brought up last week when we had our fruit and vegetable feast and also this week when we were investigating some apples we found in the school yard.  We decided to investigate a little further.  The children has a chance for some hand- on exploration.  The children were asking some good questions about the seeds!








Math.....Counting objects!

The students are practising their estimation and counting skills by sticking their hand in the jar to see how many nuts " blocks" they can hold in their hand!

Wow! That's expensive!

Some children made their own money today for the fruit and vegetable stand.  Kadence is buying the cabbage for $5.00.  


Fruit and Vegetables!

We had our Fruit and Vegetable Feast today!   Wow!  Thank you very much for the generous donations!  Abbey introduced us to 2 new fruits that many have never seen before.  The dragon fruit and star fruit.  She told us that the star fruit is very sour! We waited until the end of the day to taste them!  One friend said that the cantelope was good.  They had never tried it before!
