"Trader Dan" and Fried Green Tomatoes

This photo album personalized with Smilebox

This morning we enjoyed a delicious healthy snack that Gracie and her family provided.  We had grapes, melon, popcorn and pomegranate.  Many of us had never had pomegranate before and we discovered that we liked it a lot!  Many thanks to Gracie and her family for introducing many of us to a new food.

We also had a visit from one of the "Green Mountain Boys".  His name was "Trader Dan" and he shared a wealth of information with us about life in this area long ago.  We learned about the history of the area and lots of things about the Abenaki s.  He also shared Abenaki stories with us and taught us how to play some of their games.  He brought lots of items from that period of time for us to explore.  It was a great morning of learning for our team.  Be sure to ask your child about this experience.

This afternoon Mr. Molla came down to do some science with us.  He talked with us about many things which included measurement.  He taught us how to weigh things and helped us with our sunflower experiment.

Our team has been harvesting vegetables from the garden this week.  There were many green tomatoes left that didn't have time to ripen yet.  Mrs. KillKelley made one of her favorite treats, fried green tomatoes, and we all had an opportunity to try them.
