Our class read the book Potluck last week. This was a book about children with names from A-Z bringing food to a potluck that began with the same letter as their name. Then the kids paired up and made an A-Z list of fruits and vegetables, with some help from Lois Ehlert's book, Eating the Alphabet.
We each picked a letter to find a fruit or vegetable for and brought everything in today!
The kids were introduced to ugli fruit and figs, dates and nectarines. We focused a great deal on all the sounds each item began with and then settled into a wonderful feast. We wrapped up our potluck by having each student write about a fruit or vegetable he or she liked to eat. Even with so many new foods introduced, most kids stuck with their comfort foods, like carrots and grapes. Thanks so much to all you parents who helped us pull off a fun and educational experience!
