Healthy Eating Celebration

On Thursday we had a Healthy Eating Celebration with our class!

The week before the students got to pick from a list of fruits and vegetables what they would like to contribute to our class lunch. Each student brought a small contribution of fruit or vegetables to add to the pot!

We made a fruit salad and a big batch of vegetable soup to show how delicious and fun it is to be a healthy eater.

On the day of our celebration each student had a cutting board and lots of food to cut up. We worked hard to cut everything into small pieces. (No student's fingers were hurt in this process!) We had awesome parent helpers who helped to guide the students in all the preparation.

Once the soup was cooked, the whole school smelled wonderful! Students came from all grades to see if they could have some of our food. We told them it was just for 2nd grade! :)

I took lots of fun pictures of our day from the beginning to the end.

Enjoy!

Cutting up the fruits and vegetables!

Look at those onions! The students did a wonderful job!!

The vegetable soup is heating up on the stove and Emilia decided to make an elephant out of an apple.

 

One of our dads brought in a juicer so we could add orange and lemon juice to the fruit salad. So yummy!

The completed fruit salad and cut up vegetables.

While the soup was cooking we went upstairs and translated the names of fruit and vegetables into German and English including the "der, die, or das" for the German words!

 

The soup is ready and we are all excited to eat!

The girls are hungry and it smells so good :)

Excited to eat the soup and homemade bread!

It tasted so good!

It was so much fun to create a class soup and salad that symbolized our unity, helping one another, and how hard work can produce something absolutely wonderful!
