Did you know that your child is exposed to a different fruit or vegetable each month to taste? We call this Harvest of the Month. Last month we tried green beans and today we tried zucchini. We tossed some grape tomatoes in Italian dressing then placed it on top of our zucchini slices to make ladybugs on a leaf. Many students are discovering they actually like some fruits and vegetables they thought they disliked or have never tried. Try adding these to your shopping list, or try finding other ways to prepare them. Today we talked about zucchini bread, adding it to lasagna or pasta, and even grilling with some seasoning. The students took a pledge to be more conscientious about their food choices. We are all striving for those 3-5 servings of fruits and veggies every day. Healthy bodies give us healthy minds which results in learning success!
