ICP Day at the Farmer's Market

At ICP we are working to become an Eco School, an international program through the Wildlife Federation that helps children and families learn about their impact on the world, and sustainability. Our fall quarter goal is Sustainable Food: what is healthy eating? How can we eat in a way that is both healthy for ourselves and our world? Our first project is "Eating a Whole Food Rainbow" and we kicked it off by going to the farmer's market. Each child wnet on a treasure hunt to find different things at the market.

Here is a tiny tomato! We bought tomatoes to cook in class on our red day, and make pasta with tomato sauce.

We are not the only one who likes to go to the market! There are always lots of daogs there, too!

The music was great, and we had fun dancing.

Families ate a snack or lunch while at the market.

Each family bought something at the market to cook and eat at home.

Leeks as large as us,

farm-grown lettuce,

tomatoes and squash,

and more leeks! Yum!
