Group Meeting:  Our farm food for today was fruit.  I read The Fruit Group by Mari Schuh.   The children learned that fruit grows on trees, bushes, and vines. 

Small Groups:  The children completed the paper that is in their backpacks today titled Where Does It Grow?  I had pictures of fruits and vegetables on the Promethean board.  They had to decide if that fruit or vegetable grew in the ground, on the ground or in a tree.   They drew the correct answer on their paper.  I had pictures of the fruits and vegetables growing for them to see.

Story:  The story for today was A Farmer's Life for Me by Jan Dobbins.    This story tells of the things that a farmer does to grow crops and animals.  It is written in rhyming words and can be sung as a song. 

Large Group:  The children assisted me in making smoothies.  We placed ice, milk, and fruit into the blender and watch it mix together.  We had a good mix of fruits.  Thank you, parents, for the fruit.

Snacks:  The children drank the smoothies and ate Birthday Brownies.
