Flavors of the Season

Living in Vermont brings subtleties to the seasons.  We have a fifth one in some places- MUD SEASON!  Often the timing of the others is sometimes a bit off.  When the calendar tells us it's spring there's still snow on the ground and this year when the calendar told us it was fall, it still felt warm and sunny! Well, things shifted this week and as a class we embraced the change. Below you can see us sampling some apples and honey that Ms. Allyson brought in to signify the sweetness of a new year for the tradition of Rosh Hashanah. 

On Wednesday Kali and Makayla from Farm to School taught us about cold hardy veggies like kale and chard.  They explained how big strong veins in the leaves can withstand a frost.  Then we all helped to make some kale pesto.
 And lastly, on Friday we went to the forest with our buddies to make some art with the colors and textures of natural materials.
