The Ocean Museum Begins . . .
After taking note facts on the angler fish, I have started the backboard for my ocean museum exhibit!
The Banana!
To wrap up our health and fitness unit, I chose to investigate the banana. I shared a play about how healthy bananas are for you, and I showed the class how to make banana ice cream using only bananas as the ingredient. We also made banana fruit salad to try. Everyone was so excited that they said they were going to teach their families how to make it too!
The Banana
Kim: B! A! N! A! N! A! (shout to the tune of “Old MacDonald”)
Elizabeth: Why do you like bananas so much?
Kim: Because they are healthy for you. (doing jumping jacks as she talks)
Sky: Hi, guys! (looking at Kim) What are you doing, Kim?
Kim: Telling Elizabeth how I love bananas so much. (stopping jumping jacks)
Lexi: Well, let’s see what’s new on fruit.com on TV. (turning on TV)
News Reporter 1: Hi. I know that last week we talked about peaches, but today we’re going on a sweet yellow adventure with the banana!
Kim: Yes! (grabbing a banana)
News Reporter 1: Bananas are high in vitamin B6 and C. So next time you have a banana that’s too sweet, what do you do?
News Reporter 2: Throw it away? Put peanut butter on it?
Katie: Watching TV? How about reading or eating?
News Reporter 2: The better the banana, the better you are! So keep up your food!
Sky: Wow, I have an idea! Let’s go get bananas right now!
Everyone: Yeah!
Elizabeth: Let’s go then. (Turning around to go. Everyone leaves stage but Kim.)
Kim: Wait for me! (leaving stage)
