Kindergartners are preparing healthy snacks with the vegetables harvested this fall in the Kindergarten Salsa Garden.
The garden was designed and planted by last year's kindergarten class and will be re-designed by this year's class in the spring for the rising kindergarten students at FSH.
Salsa Garden, Spring 2011
Max plants a tomato plant, Spring 2011Though it is already October and autumn is upon us, the Salsa Garden beckons with ripe vegetables; we picked a several more bowls of late-season tomatoes and multi-colored bell and banana peppers over the past two weeks.
Our first KinderCooks project was making a fresh salad for our morning snack.
All kindergartners took turns at the cutting board slicing large chunks of vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Take a look at our photos to see how we position our knife in one hand and how we use our helper hand to steady the produce while we slice. (Plastic picnic tableware is sturdy and sharp enough but not too sharp for 5 and 6 year old KinderCooks!)
The empty bowls and smiles tell the rest of the story!
Please enjoy more photos in the "2011-2012 KinderCooks" slideshow!
