Mango lesson

This week in the garden we are going to be watering over the soil and plants. Also, taking out any weeds we find in the soil. Our activity will be based on an environmental and educational process. The activity consists of drawing and cutting out a paper flower and on each petal writing good things about the environment or ways to support the environment. During snack time, we will give examples of ways a mango can be processed into eating - for example, dried, fresh, and in a smoothie.

Garden taboo and pita chips

           For this week we really don't have a specific lesson. According to the forecast, there is a possibility that it might rain. If that happens, we will probably skip going to the garden and go straight inside to do the activity and snack. For our activity we are going to play charades and taboo. The words will mostly revolve around the environment, plants, fruits and vegetables. We would give the kids a word and we will try to either act them out or give them clues without saying certain words (or the words they are trying to guess!). After the game, our snack will be pita chips with homemade hummus. This is in honor of one of our Junior Rangers whose birthday was yesterday because pita chips are her favorite snack! For this week, we hope that the children are cooperative and listen to us so that we could have a enjoyable lesson.
