Our Polmelo

Amanda's Mom brought a Polmelo for Snack.
When we brought it in the classroom the children wondered what type of fruit it was
since they've never seen one.
We left it in the Kitchen area for a few days and the children explored and played with it
by feeling, conversing about it and of course shopping in the grocery for it.

They were so excited the day we brought it to the snack table.
Morah Mimi:  Does anyone remember what this is?
Sammy:  a big green fruit
Hannah: a big orange
Aiden: a green fruit
Amanda:  it's a polmelo

We showed them pictures of other fruits in the citrus family which the children recognized;
grapefruit, oranges... and then Sammy found the dried Etrog in our classroom:)

After guessing what it would look like inside, we were surprised to see the deep orange/ red color.

At first the children hesitated, but after watching Morah Mimi and Amanda eat it they all tried and love it!!
We learned that it's always good to try new healthy foods.
