Vegetation Exploration With Kristin Andrews

Greetings,

Today we were very lucky to have Kristin Andrews, who is the Education Coordinator for ANESU food service, come in and share some of her knowledge with us. Kristin came in and spoke with students about different fruits and vegetables they liked or knew of. Students then worked together to brainstorm a list of these favorites according to the colors of the rainbow.

Students worked together to create fact posters about different fruits and vegetables. These are now hung along our book counter. Following our discussion Kristen led the class in a prep and sample time where students were able to try pears, pomegranates, cabbage, peppers and many other delicious snacks.

As an extension we will be tracking our classes consumption of fruits and veggies on a graph that Kristin provided. Kristin will be returning in a few weeks to follow up on our findings and discuss more about the benefits of eating healthy!
