We have been having so much fun learning more about trees. This week we focused on food that comes from trees. They learned about fruits and nuts coming from trees and used fruit as part of the rest of there activities. So in small groups we used tree fruits to do math story problems using objects like small banana and orange counters. In art, students made food that comes from trees, like these paintings.
My favorite activity was when we tasted apples on Thursday, and then graphed which ones we liked best. Students tasted a bite of a red apple, a yellow apple and a green apple, then chose their favorite. As you can see, red apples were the favorite for both classes.
