Vegetable Week

The last few weeks have been crazy. Things at school have been busy with Vegetable Week and Milk Week. Coming up will be Fruit Week. During these weeks, classroom instruction is to be devoted to the subject (vegetables, milk, fruit) in all curriculum areas. Doesn't sound so crazy except that on one day during each of the weeks, the girls bring in the item of the week (vegetables, milk, fruit) and we spend about an hour have a "free for all" when it comes to the item. So during Vegetable Week, the girls all brought in various vegetables (lettuce, tomatoes, eggplant, lemons, and much more). So, during our lunch and fourth period, we all gather in the courtyard and the girls share their vegetables. Doesn't seem so bad! The "strange", for lack of a better word, part is that the girls brought their own knives from home and were cutting up the vegetables and making salads for anyone and everyone. Here are a few pictures of the organized chaos.
