5/2/12 - They loved holding up 'like/do not like' signs. - The activity was engaging. They used different senses to describe why they did or did not like a certain food. - I think I should have clarified the directions on the handout. I got a lot of 'smells good or tastes yummy' rather than 'smells sweet or tastes salty.'

5/3/12 - I was worried that students wouldn't be very engaged about this lesson. - However, they actively participated to come up with foods for each food group. - There wasn't enough time to finish the plate activity.

5/4/12 - I made some changes to the original lesson. - I shared 'Henry and the Hidden Veggie Garden' as a read aloud to introduce the lesson. The book was way too long! I can't believe the kids made it through the book. I am not sure if I should have stopped reading in the middle of it. At the moment, I felt as if I should read through. - The sorting activity was fine but the pictures printed too dark so they found it hard to distinguish some of the food. -
