Sometimes you just gotta make your own sunshine! Right?! Today, in my grade two health class, we were writing about the healthy choices we discussed last week (see a few posts back for the ideas we came up with). While the students were busily working away, one of the littles comes up to me and asks, "Miss, what are those hexagon-shaped vegetables called?" I was seriously perplexed...I eat a LOT of vegetables, but I have NEVER seen a hexagon-shaped one. So, I started rhyming off the names of random vegetables to see if it would spark a connection. Sweet potato? Parsnip? Cucumber? "Yes!" he exclaims. "It's a cucumber!" Okay...now, I was even more confused. I don't ever recall seeing a hexagon-shaped cucumber. He continues, "My nanny gives us hexagon-shaped cucumbers for snack!" I'm sure you can figure out the rest.. haha!
