Exploring vegetables can be so much fun. Students used descriptive language to describe the feeling, taste, smell, appearance and sound of corn. They took turns examining they vegetable and shucking the corn. We talked about the different parts of the corn, those parts that are edible compared to the parts that are not. We talked about the different things we eat that are made of corn; tortillas, cornbread, popcorn, etc. Learning about how corn grows was fun as it is very different than other vegetables.
Students had fun learning more about a less familiar fruit called a Tomatillo. This small fruit looks like a small green tomato with a papery husk as a cover instead of skin. Students had the opportunity to compare the sizes of several Tomatillos and loved taking the husk off. Those who wanted tasted the very tart flavor of the Tomatillo. We love trying new things.
