Food

Where does our food come from? The 1st and 2nd graders brainstormed ideas - restaurants, supermarkets, animals, and the earth. Today we focused on food that we grow, specifically vegetables that grow underground.

First, we brainstormed vegetables that grow underground. 

Then,we read "Growing Vegetable Soup" by Lois Ehlert.

Students received an oblong piece of watercolor paper with a horizon line drawn across the center. Then they sketched out their vegetables, traced the vegetables in crayon, and drew the green leaves in crayon. 

Next class we will begin to use watercolors. Take a look at the works in progress!
