This unit has a lot of fun way to explore at home. Throughout the unit we will
be sharing many home activities with you. We are also setting up a BLEND
SPACE website, where students will be able to view videos, websites and
activities to do online. Access to this website will be provided on Edmodo.
To start, have conversations with you child about FOOD. Ask them about how
they think there food arrives on the table, and where does it come from?
