This is a fun and quite challenging halloween project for kids.
It doesn't only require them to cut out the template, but they also need to carefully cut out the windows.

They did not only enjoy the activity, but was also challenged after the hardwork of cutting the intricate small windows!

Food and Nutrients
Aside from the illustration in student's textbook, teacher Loli also introduced the food pyramid and their nutrients.

The GO, GROW and GLOW!
By using the food flashcards teacher Loli gave me, I reviewed the food pyramid and nutrients with the students in small groups
I also read a story to the class and made it more interactive by asking the students what nutrients they will get from the food.
If they like the food in the story,
and explained some phrases used in the story.
Overall, they enjoyed the story. The students understood it very well and they were very participative!
After the story-telling, teacher Loli showed the video "Zombies don't eat veggies" from youTube.
