Our last cooking class with Bonny
This week we completed our last cooking class with Bonny White. This 6-week nutrition and literacy program is run by the University of Vermont Extension's Expanded Food and Nutrition Education
Program. Each week Bonny read a storybook to the class, led the class in an active game, and prepared a simple recipe with the kindergartners, exposing them to new or different foods. For our last class, Bonny helped us make chocolate pudding with Greek yogurt, cocoa and honey - it was yummy!

Playing "Meet a Tree" in the Forest
From www.sharingnature.com
Meet a Tree connects us with trees in a memorable way. To play, divide the group into pairs and have one of each pair wear a blindfold. The seeing player leads the blindfolded player to a special tree. Upon meeting the tree, the blindfolded player feels the texture of the tree’s bark, sees how big the tree is by putting his arms around it, and explores the tree’s branches and leaves.
After getting to know their trees, the blindfolded players are brought back to the starting point, where their blindfolds are removed. They then try to find their tree. Most adults and children who have walked blindfolded thirty yards or more to a tree, can find it later with open eyes.
Faces of both children and adult players immediately glow with elation when they recognize their tree—it is as though two dear friends have reunited.
