Easel the weasel and Cole the mole have done it again! The 3rd grade students were thrilled to talk about healthy and unhealthy food, intrigued by the characters of Magic Book 2. I gave each student a food word, they illustrated it and then put it on the whiteboard with some tape, on the left (healthy) or the right (unhealthy) side. What a nice way to revise vocabulary!

After that, I was surprised to see them take turns showing their classmates what was in their schoolbag for lunch, saying it in English and also labelling it “healthy” or “unhealthy”. Needless to say, home-made cake was “healthy”, but at least the whole activity made a student with diabetes feel very at ease and it helped put an “I-told-you-so” smile on her face 😉
