If you had the same thing, day after day, week after week, wouldn’t that get boring? Isn’t it nice to mix things up and experience new and different things?
This week students discussed the importance of eating a variety of fruits and vegetables, as the different colored fruits and vegetables provide us with a collection of phytonutrients, vitamins, minerals, and fiber – which help keep our bodies healthy. And bonus: most fruits and vegetables are fat-free.
Students explored the wide variety of tastes, colors, textures, and ways of eating fruits and vegetables. They also shared their favorite ones and their wish list of new ones to try.
Students enjoyed sampling spinach salad during the vegetable lesson, and fruit salad during the fruit lesson. Both salads got a big thumbs up from the kids’ taste buds.
