Class Salad Mixing Day Kids, try suggesting to your classroom teachers that you take a field trip
to a local farm or Farmer's Market to pick out fresh vegetables to make a
healthy salad for the entire class. The students pick out their veggies from
the farm or market and take them back to class. Before beginning make sure
students wash their hands thoroughly & wash all the vegetables really well.
Explain to them why this is important. Also make sure if knives are being used
or sharp objects that they are carefully supervised by an adult & explain
important safety tips using these items with an adult or parent around only and
why. Put cut & washed vegetables into a large enough bowl for the whole class
to participate & eat. This would be the classroom's homemade salad where
everyone participates, from picking the veggies to washing them to cutting them
(carefully & supervised) and to mixing them in the bowl. Teachers can explain
how the vegetables are grown, what they are, soil, weather & water conditions
and how they affect the plants & vegetables growth etc. Your class could also
make the salad dressing |
