Hope hummus (https://hopefoods.com/) donated some of their original hummus (the "yellow kind") and their spicy avocado hummus (the "green kind")!  We got to use some Quinn pretzels and sample each kind then choose if what we wanted!  I was so happy that most kids wanted to eat both of them!  Yum!  And...Quinn sea salt pretzels + Hope hummus = AMAZING!

Upstart Kombucha

Wow! When I asked the best kombucha company ever, Upstart, to sponsor our healthy eating unit, I wasn't entirely sure how the kids would take to kombucha.  But...they LOVED it!  We had so much fun trying 2 different flavors...mint green and rose....and we even tried mixing them!  I love these kids and their willingness to try new things!  Here is what some of them had to say about kombucha:

Healthy Eating Unit

We are learning about our bodies this week and how to keep them healthy!  The kids came up with this list of things that they want to try to do everyday to be healthy:
1. Eat healthy foods
2. Drink healthy stuff like water
3. Move and exercise
4. Sleep
5. Get outside in the sun
6. Wash off germs

We are checking off each day if we accomplish these things at school!  We also had some AMAZING companies donate healthy snacks for us to try this week!  I'll post each one as we try them!

Stone Soup!

Yum!!  We all brought in some veggies that we picked and mixed them all together with some spices and broth an are making "Stone Soup!"

Field Trip!

We got to go on a "for real" kindergarten field trip!  The kids loved our imaginary trip around the world but they really really loved to be able to leave the school for real!  We hopped on a bus and went to Miller Farms where we got to go on a hay ride, pick veggies, and play on a playground!  The weather was beautiful and we all had a lot of fun! (Oh ya....we also got really hungry on the farm which made veggie munching extra awesome!)
