We will ask the children to bring a piece of fruit
from home. Each child will show the rest of the class the fruit
he/she has brought and say its name. The children will smell the different fruits and they
will compare their sizes and their texture. We will ask them if the
know which fruits come from a plant and which ones come from trees,
etc. The teacher will talk about the importance of the fruits
in our lives. And this will be another reason to take care and respect
the plants. The children will wash their hands, and they will help
the teacher to peel all the fruits and to cut them in small pieces.
They will taste a small piece of each fruit; with the rest of the pieces
they will prepare a fruit salad. The teacher will ask some children to go to the kitchen
of the school to ask for plastic glasses or bowls and some teaspoons. When everybody is in the classroom again, some children
will serve the fruit salad for all of them. When they finish their salad they will clean the bowl
and the teaspoon they have been using and will give them back to the
cook saying to him/her "thank you". |
