How We Organize Ourselves

An exploration into the systems of people involved in the production and distribution of our food.

This is a recent unit I just completed with my kindergarten class.  Through many real-life experiences the children explored how our food changes, the connections between the people involved and our responsibility to make good food choice, which are healthy for our bodies and caring towards our environment.

As a final project the children went to a local market and interviewed the vendors; they found out where their food comes from and how it was transported to this market.  The children have been given the tools and confidence to independently ask the various vendors about their food.
