I found a book called "Local," by Douglas Gayeton. The picture below highlights exactly why it is important to teach children the importance of the food movement not only through classroom instruction, but also through doing.

Hail the Kale! In honor of National Kale Day on October 1st, we learned about everything kale. Below is a recipe Haven's group made for kale chips. They are so delicious and taste like potato chips. The most important part of the recipe is to make sure you dry the kale thoroughly so that it doesn't get soggy in the oven.

 

 

We split into groups and learned all about kale. Per calorie, kale has more iron than beef, more calcuim than milk and 10% more vitamin C than spinach! We wrote stories and poems

 



 and  even made art with kale. Some of the work included a fish, a bunny and Pacman (which had nothing to do with kale, but was cute).
