🍍🍊 Taste Test Adventure! 🍊🍍 This week, our first-grade students took their taste buds on a wild ride, sampling 16 different fruits! Some approached with caution, others with enthusiasm—but in the end, pineapple reigned supreme as the favorite. 🍍✨ Meanwhile, grapefruit… not so much. 😅 Even Mrs. Rizzo bravely gave a fruit another shot—only to confirm her original stance. 😂 We love seeing our students step out of their comfort zones and explore new flavors & experiences! 🥭🍎🍉 What’s a fruit you’ve tried but just couldn’t love
