Talking about winter fruits in our English pre-k class. We introduced new vocabulary by giving fresh fruit to the children to feel, smell and taste. With their eyes closed they were able to identify and name them all!

Then, we made a fruit salad. After we ate it all we played games in the yard.

We rolled plastic fruit to see how far they can go…

….hang them high and tried to hit them with improvised bats.

We also had a real grocery store set up in our dramatic play area!

The next day we decided to make smoothies. We came up with a recipe….

….executed it and decided whether we like it or not!
