Susan Taylor from the Good Food Project came to St. Sylvester today to conduct a citrus tasting with our students! She arrived with a couple of assistants and a few different types of citrus fruits for the whole class to try. Ask your son or daughter about the steps to a citrus tasting: first smell it, then lick it, and finally chew and savor it. Each student chose their favorite variety of citrus on a ballot and included any other comments. Many students were excited to try the "blood orange" that is deep red inside. Also, the student devoured the "Cutie" Mandarin oranges that were given out. Ask your son or daughter which citrus fruit was their favorite. We all learned a lot about citrus fruits, how to describe their various flavors, and how great they are for us! Look in your son or daughter's folder to find a letter about the activities along with a coupon for Cutie Mandarin oranges!
