Well all year we’ve been getting ready with planting a garden. But it’s harvest time. You can find a local farm that sells locally and will let you explore at. http://www.eatwellguide.org/index.cfm

I also like the story book “Apples and Pumpkins” by Anne Rockwell to start off harvest talk.

A greens tasting party….have you ever tasted sorrel?!? sooo good.

My favorite body activity is taking a ceramic tile (white preferred) let the kids make a mess putting all kinds of sticky food condiments on it. let the mess dry and the next day they use a tooth brush to get it clean. Simulating tooth brushing.

In regards to the “Theme of the Month,” Farm/Your Body, the only thing that comes to my mind (no laughing allowed) are cow’s and horses. I just don’t get the “your body” end of it.

I’m walking away now and will leave this one for the 8 yr olds.

Maybe I’m just out of touch or need to go back to preschool.

It has themes, holiday crafts and a variety of topics.

Most are suited for children in that age range.

Best of luck!

Nutrition– Use paper plates to have the students draw a blanced meal on one plate

for you body….trace them on large paper and have them color it to look like them, then fill out at sheet for each of them “all about me” with things like their favorite color, what they want to be, fav. food etc.

They have helped me out with my class.
