This Spring our First Graders started a new Project Based Learning experience called "Farm to Table." Over the last few weeks they have learned a lot about where different foods come from, how it gets to their table and have participated in many different activities.
We took a trip to Abilene to Zey's Market to learn how food gets to our local grocery stores. After that we traveled to Hildebrand Dairy Farm and learned about where milk comes from, how it's processed, how it gets packaged and finally how it's shipped to stores. The students were able to try strawberry milk, chocolate milk and root beer milk, then had a delicious ice cream snack at the end.
We brought home cream from the dairy farm and students got to experience making homemade butter and trying it on bread and crackers. They all had a chance to churn the butter and even try the buttermilk.
On another day our students had an opportunity to try different fruit during a fruit tasting. We supplied fresh pineapple, plums, green grapes, red grapes, blueberries, raspberries, grapefruit, mandarin oranges, fuji apples, bananas and dragon fruit. When they were finished we graphed the fruits the students liked and were able to see the results.
We have had so much fun watching our students experience new things and enjoy learning through these projects.
We have one more project up our sleeve- Homemade Ice Cream!!
