There is nothing better than taking a bunch of preschoolers to the local supermarket on a field trip. Teresa, pictured above, was lovely and great with the kids. I had to remind Excited Isabella several times that Teresa was her teacher at the store and that she needed to listen, even though what she really wanted was to eat all the snacks involved in the tour.
Amelie and Isabella.
Teresa taught them all kinds of things: how many teeth they have their mouths, what they are made of, how many bones we have in our body, what vitamins are found in dairy products, etc.
Matthew wanted to know why static electricity always seems to find his hair everywhere he goes. Teresa didn't cover that topic.
Teresa repeated the questions about teeth and bones over and over so the information might stick. The kids would yell out the answers. Isabella felt the need to yell out every answer even though the question had already been answered. Several times. She wins for enthusiasm.
Weight-lifting with gallons of milk.
The lobsters came out of their tanks and caused quite a stir.
The final stop of the tour was the deli section where the kids got to eat Pinwheels. When Teresa came out with a bread tray, Baby M spoke up the loudest--and got first dibs. (Carb-lover, just like me.)
Since the field trip, we have driven passed Lucky's Supermarket a few times. Isabella imparts her wisdom about health: "'Calcium starts with the letter 'C'!" Then she wonders aloud who is inside learning about food from Teresa the teacher. So we got the concept of health and healthy eating down. Supermarket? Not so much.
