The Kids Cook Monday Educators’ Kit
Go! Fruits: Swedish Apple Pancake Source: Stefania Patinella, Director of Food & Nutrition Programs, The Children’s Aid Society. Lesson: Go! Fruits Overview: Go! Fruits is lesson 6 in The Children’s Aid Society’s 24-week Go!Kids Food and Fitness Curriculum. In this lesson, students learn that all fruits are “go! foods”—they give us the nutrients our bodies need to grow and go! The lesson focuses on apples. Students read the book Apple Farmer Annie; do an apple exploration activity that engages their five senses and begins to build their food vocabulary; and prepare and enjoy a Swedish Apple Pancake. Objectives: Students will be able to • explain that apples grow on trees. • describe how apples look, feel, sound, smell, and taste, thereby beginning to build a varied food vocabulary. • state their intention to eat more apples and other fruits.
