Eating the Alphabet by Lois Ehlert

Eating the Alphabet by Lois Ehlert gives readers a "taste" a a variety of fruits and veggies.  The garden is thriving and we just had our firts helping of lettuce, the swiss chart is next!  Try these activities - www.doh.state.fl.us/Family/wic/...story.../04_Eating_the_Alphabet.pdf , http://www.dshs.state.tx.us/kids/lessonplans/chap10_1.htm , there is even an at-home sheet to have your children keep track of the healthy foods they eat throughout the week.  For another "planting" book, check out a former post - http://teachingreaderstothink.blogspot.com/2010/04/planting-rainbow-by-lois-ehlert.html

Here is the first Swiss chard of the season from the garden.  Visit http://any-given-moment.blogspot.com/2010/05/talk-about-complex-roasted-chickpeas.html for a recipe.  Thanks, T.J. Yummy!
