the coconut tree...

Yesterday we finished our day with blue snacks... we made blue jello, had blueberry muffins, and tried blueberry yogurt.

Today focused on the coconut tree from the book, "Chicka chicka Boom boom".
I passed around a real coconut to touch and smell. We talked about if it was rough or smooth and hard or soft.
Then we got to eat the coconut. We tried a couple bites and drank the coconut "milk" as well.
Some liked it better then others... this activity led to great conversations!
After we finished our morning snack, I made a chart to see how many liked the coconut and how many did not. It was neat to see that many liked the coconut but not the juice.
To finish up our morning, we glued packaged coconut to our color sheet. Some made it onto our art project, some made into our mouths!


It was a skit skat skoodle doot type of day!!!
