Discussion: We are learning about healthy food. What is healthy? What should we eat every day? What should we eat only as a once-in-a-while treat? Do you like this food. I like tomatoes. I don't like peas. We put pictures under a check to show we eat it every day. We put pictures under a star to show we eat it sometimes. We licked our lips all the way around if we liked the food. WE stuck our tongues out and made silly faces if we did not like the food. Anytime vs sometime is a concept that most preschool children do not understand. So we focused on good for our body, if we liked or didn't like it, and who had tasted it.
We talked about fries, beans, cake, broccoli, tomatoes, celery, banana, apple, oranges, grapes, potatoes, corn, spaghetti, eggs, ice cream, and cookies.
