Lesson: This week we learned that the way something looks doesn't usually affect the way it tastes. We compared and contrasted three different varieties of apples according to look, feel, size, shape, color, and sheen. The kids voted on which on they thought would taste best according to its appearance. Most liked the look of the Pink Lady. Then we did a taste test. Most liked the taste of the Granny Smith. I encouraged kids to try different varieties of foods that they normally eat. You never know if you like something until you try it!
Garden: We fed our worms some moldy zucchini, spinach, and bell peppers. We also added some new plants to our Fairy Garden (the girls love this!). They even built a house for the fairies. If anyone wants to donate some fairy furniture, they would be thrilled! We discovered a cute little frog hiding in the garden.
Volunteer: We always encourage parents to join us in the garden. If you have time to lend a hand, please let me know. No green thumb required.
