During discussions about healthy snack choices and family Thanksgiving celebrations, the word 'harvest' was mentioned. A few of the students explained what the word means and we read a few stories about planting, caring for and harvesting a garden. The students were eager to talk about their favourite types of veggies and fruits as we read a story called, Growing Vegetable Soup by Lois Ehlert. The children were invited to bring in a veggie to contribute towards our cooking day experience. And what a harvest they brought! Before we set to work peeling, cleaning, chopping and cooking, the students helped to graph and sort the bounty during community circle time. The results revealed that carrots are a favourite among Kindergarten students and only a few enjoy eating broccoli. A sample of everything was added to the pot! Once the soup was ready, our students were not picky. A majority of them joyfully tried the soup because they helped to make it. Here, we share some photos and their quotes about the experience.
