First, the students made "open-mind portraits" of Poppleton. To do this, they needed to color and cut out an image of Poppleton and then attach paper silhoutettes to the back. On each paper they wrote about what happened in the beginning, middle, and end of the story. Below you can see a few of the finished products.
The next activity that your child should be bringing home today was a collage that everyone made of healthy choices. They cut out images from magazines as well as added some of their own. Everyone had some good advice for Poppleton of ways to stay healthy without eating grapefruit.
The last thing the students did was to observe grapefruit with all of their senses. First, they looked at the grapefruit, touched it, and finally smelled it. Next, they listened to the sound of it being cut and the juice being squeezed from a segment. Last, everyone partook in a taste test. Everyone took notes in their writing journals on this experience. Some children enjoyed the grapefruit, while many others did not; just like Poppleton. Ask your son or daughter whether or not they liked the taste of grapefruit!
You can watch the slideshow of all of the children's reactions to their grapefruit tasting in the sidebar. They also gave a thumbs up or down depending on how they felt about it!
