Fruits and Vegetables!

Hello People of Room 116!

Since visiting the farm the students of 116 have expressed interest in learning more about food. Yesterday the students talked about different questions they had about fruits and vegetables. Here are some of your students inquiries:

-Why are fruits and vegetables different colours?

-Why do fruits and vegetable taste different from each other?

-Which is the biggest fruit? Which is the biggest vegetable?

Please take some time to research these questions with your child. Encourage them to draw or write their ideas and bring them to school to share with the class.

Here is a website about fruits and vegetables they can try at home:
