Yesterday we read A Fruit Is A Suitcase for Seeds ,By Jean Richards. The book talks about how, many seeds travel inside fruits. The fruit is like a suitcase for the seeds. It protects them on their trip. Some fruits have one big seed inside them (plum, cherry, peach). Some fruits have many small seeds inside them (apple, pear, melon, lemon). Some fruits have , many, many tiny seeds inside them (blueberry, banana, kiwi). Many berries, carry their seeds on their outside (strawberries, raspberries, blackberries).
When circle time was over the children were invited to take part in a sensory experience, by exploring a variety of fresh, sweet, colorful, and delicious fruits!
So this is why Rachel asked me what was the smallest fruit with the most seeds in it. I was debating between strawberry, raspberry and blackberry. Any clue?
