Scientists play the Mystery Fruit Game

Ellen came to visit today and taught us a game.  Ellen began the Mystery Fruit Game by showing us a paper bag.  Then she told us a few things about what was inside: "It is a fruit.  It grows on a tree."  The kids didn't have any guesses yet.  Then she shared: "It is orange, it's round like a ball and it's juicy."  The guess came: "An Orange!!!!"  Ellen taught us how scientists learn about a new food: touch it, smell it, lick it, and eat it if you'd like.  The kids were brave about trying the fruit she shared with us: a Cara Cara orange, a pear,  a red pear, a lime, and lastly - a tomato!  You can see on the kids' faces what they thought of the sour flavor of the lime!

Good Luck Alison!!

As some of you know Alison Simpson from the Haifa class has been working with her high school youth group to host a 290 person event this weekend. We know that it will be amazing but the Tel Aviv class thought it would be nice to send a bit of fruit to wish Alison good luck with her big event. The group decorated an orange carton with pastels and made a card together with ALL of their signatures!! Lily, Molly and Hannah wanted to go deliver the goodies to Alison in her classroom and boy was she surprised! Have a blast Alison!! We know the weekend will be great!!
