ICP Day at the Farmer's MArket

ICP strives to be sn Eco School, an international program sponsored in the US by the National Wildlife Federation. "The Eco-Schools program strives to model environmentally sound practices, provide support for greening the curriculum and enhance science and academic achievement. Additionally, it works to foster a greater sense of environmental stewardship among youth."

Our fall quarter goal is Sustainable Food, with a focus on local, whole foods and healthy eating. To kick off this learning, we had a day at the farmer's market.

We had a market treasure hunt.

We looked for different colors and sizes of vegetables and fruits.

We bought one to eat with our family at home.

Many families participated.

And many different kinds of local foods were purchased.

There was dancing, too. Funny, the band leader of Ranger and the Re-arrangers was a past co-op kid!
