Fruits & Veggies: 101

 Pat's Lesson on Citrus

Citrus Class - Oranges, Lemons, Limes, Grapefruits, Pomelos (Chinese Grapefruit)

The children learned the fruit's color on the outside and inside along with how they smell and feel.

Pat showed the kids how to peel an orange.

 

The kids learned a poem about an orange tree ... they later glued this poem on to the back
 of the orange tree that they made.

Following Pat's Lesson on Citrus the kids went to three different stations to learn more about Citrus!  At the stations there were able to use their different senses to learn more about citrus. 

Citrus Stations:

Art Station:  Each kid glued a tree onto their paper and then cut out 5 oranges and glued them onto their tree.
On the back they glued on the poem about an Orange Tree that they just learned.

Juice Station:  Ron helped all of the kids to make Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice.



Taste Station:  Each child was given a tangerine that they each peeled and ate.
They also tasted slices of ... lemon, lime, grapefruit and pomelo.
