Theme: Mmm Vegetables!
Choosing Time: Trains, Vet/Pet Pretend Play, Beauty Shop, Voice Recordings (I invited each child to answer a few questions such as "What is your favorite color?." I recorded the responses and then we listened to the recording. It was fun to hear our own voices and our answers!
Snack: Thank you Grace for a yummy & healthy snack. We ate cheese, graham crackers, Cheez-Its, & Frozen Carrots & Peas. FYI: The frozen veggies were a HUGE HIT! Everyone wanted seconds!
Books: How Are You Peeling? Foods With Moods by Saxton Freymann (This book is so creative! We had fun trying to mimic the expressions we saw on the fruits and vegetables. I should have taken pictures! It was a hoot!)Mother Goose Nursery Rhymes by Mary Englebreit
Lesson: We identified many pictures of healthy foods. We decided if a food was a fruit or a vegetable. We shared which vegetables we like the best. The kids were so cute! If I showed a picture of a vegetable they didn't like someone would say, "My dad/mom likes those...." It was so wonderful to hear such optimistic expressions instead of hearing, "YUCK! I hate those!" :)
Music & Movement: See Me Run, Oh, What A Miracle, & Red Light Green Light
