Grocery Grandeur

Thanks to the wonderful staff at HEB, our class enjoyed an educational and FUN field trip!  We were able to experience all of our farm to market learning first hand, and were able to take a 'VIP' tour of the store.  The students used their sense of touch to guess which fruits/vegetables were placed behind their backs, and were even given the chance to try their hand at cupcake icing!  Each student also received their own grocery bag full of goodies, including a much needed snack after all of our 'mouth-watering' sight seeing...

HEB, here we come!

The students had a blast touring our local grocery store this week!  We visited all of the different departments and played a different game in each one.  The students' favorite game was trying to figure out which fruit or vegetable was placed in their hands behind their back without looking.    Our guide, Ms. Dolores, showed us all of the different cakes with our favorite cartoon characters that we could purchase from the bakery.  Some of the Kindergartners were even able to test their frosting skills, and won a prize or two!  

I think we gave the shoppers a little scare when Ms. Dolores pulled out several live crawfish for us to see-  I wouldn't be surprised if some of our shrieks reached the parking lot!

When we arrived back to class, we made the following video together to show off the highlights of our day:

Hats (or crowns!) off to HEB for a great field trip!
