It has been three weeks and my students are busy learning about some healthy ways to prepare snacks for their lunch. We have spoken about pineapple, canary melon and cantaloupe. We have spoken about the nutritional values and the places where they are grown. We have watched videos and have read informational flyers prepared by the teacher (me).

The kids are really enjoying tasting different fruit.
