4 Food Groups and The Little Red Hen {freebie pack}

We have been learning about each of the 4 food groups in our Food Unit.

 

I gave students grocery flyers, and they had to find a pictures of  foods for each of the 4 food groups.

 

We added the pictures to our collaborative anchor chart:

 

We had a great visit at a dairy farm as we learned about dairy foods

 

I read Byron Barton's The Little Red Hen when discussing the grains food group.

 

and we did a few fun activities to go along with the story, including a vocabulary word search:

 

sorting characters in the story/not in the story:

 

I have posted a FREEBIE PACK to go along with The Little Red Hen.

Kinder-garden

We planted some seeds in our classroom.

 

 

We started the lesson with a few books about planting seeds and seed growth:

 

 

Then did some review about what plants need to grow as well as the parts of a plant, using an anchor chart:

 

I had made up some labels with their names

 

 

and had them choose what seed they'd like to plant. They had to copy the name of the plant on the back of their popsicle stick, copying the word from a card that showed their options

 

Then it wast time to get our hands dirty {and the classroom too!}

 

our plants, in the sunlight

 

They filled in the first page in their plant booklet, which reviewed the steps they had gone through in planting their seeds:

 

 

Subsequent booklet pages will show data regarding their plant's growth.

 

You can find the plant booklet, anchor chart, lesson suggestions, name labels, and more {here}

My students cut the purse template out and added the handle and some flower 'bling'.

 

Then I worked with them to fill in some 'information' about their moms...precious!

 

Add a portrait of mom on the back: My mom has style!
