Farmer's Market Field Trip

I'm taking an Early Childhood Education online class. Here are some photos from my trip to the Farmer's Market today with one of my classmates. We're doing a group project, planning a field trip to the Farmer's Market. So these photos are for Group B - Lauren, Zarina and Janay. You can click on any of the photos for more detail.

There are learning opportunities everywhere, even at the Farmer's Market.

• We saw a dad say to his girls, "Hey look at this--this is how bees collect honey (science)."
• We saw kids waiting in line to pay with dollar bills in their hands (math/social).
• We saw kids water coloring painting with leaves and experimenting with salt (art).
  
• Kids are exposed to 7 different kinds of plums, and can taste the different varieties (science/math).
• We learned that all of the food vendors accept WIC from low-income families (community).
• We saw a toddler dancing to music from a DJ (music).
• Another toddler was pointing to the letters on one of the posters (early literacy).

And it's all about eating organic and locally grown, healthy fruits and vegetables.
