Today fourth and fifth grade students ventured to Washington street. Their task: find fruit, vegetable, healthy drink for under $3. We saw lots of creative selections; selections that make us wonder is Gatorade healthy? Are lemons and limes nutritious?
We will take these kinds of trips again. Practicing making healthy choice, interacting with sales people, working in a budget, reading food labels are all important life skills to develop. Already students are brainstorming what kind of groupings to use next time we go shopping. They are planning ways to get the most for their money.
