Her teacher had never heard of it and thought she had made it up. For example, growing up my sister loved artichokes thanks to our Italian grandmother and drew a picture of it for an “A” word in Kindergarten. This is a great way to learn about favorite family foods and traditions. uncommon food exploration: Brainstorm as a group about other foods that students like that may not be common to all.for older children, they could write a story about lima beans using some of the facts that they learned.for younger children, have them draw a picture of lima beans and write a sentence with one fact they learned.For example, did you know that Lima beans are also known as “butterbeans” due to the taste of them cooked resembles butter? learn about lima beans: given it’s an uncommon food, share some fun facts about the lima bean.So here are a few ideas to get you started: How many of us think of lima beans as one of our favorite foods? Also, while this lesson is definitely important for our younger friends, kids of all ages would benefit from reminders of “don’t yuck my yum” as we say at TasteWise Kids. After all, it starts with Camilla liking lima beans. While this is of course very important, and a skill we want all of our students to learn, I thought it would be fun to use this book to talk more explicitly about different food preferences. Scholastic offers a good lesson plan for Pre-K thru 2 nd grade which focuses on learning to respect and accept differences in others.
Isn’t there anyone who can help Camilla remember what it means to be herself? Specialists are called but the situation goes from bad to worse. When the class says the Pledge of Allegiance, she turns red, white, and blue! Instead of blending in, she’s standing out. Camilla Cream is very worried about what other people think about her, but at the very moment she most wants to fit in, she becomes completely covered in colorful stripes! Worse yet, she seems to change colors to match whatever is happening around her. Why? Because the other kids in her school don’t like them. Since I know many of us are always looking for new books and ways to use them to extend learning – whether at home with your kids or in your classroom – I thought I’d share.Ĭamilla Cream loves lima beans, but she never eats them. I’m so glad that she did as it’s a great story and also happened to spark some fun ideas of how we might use this book as we develop some new workshops for younger kids. Recently, my daughter asked me to read A Bad Case of Stripes by David Shannon during read aloud time in her kindergarten class. By Wendy Jeffries, TasteWise Kids Executive Director
