Using Text to Demonstrate Knowledge

Watch the video on Informational Text, then watch the Read Aloud Video or use your own informational text.

Copy the graphic organizer on a piece of paper and use text or pictures from the video to share your knowledge about the topic.

You student may use lines to represent letters and words and that is ok. Have them include a picture with their story. There is no need to worry about spelling, punctuation or letter formation during this writing block.

Your goal is to let your student be a story teller.

Eating Vegetables in the Winter

First revisit the health benefit of vegetables:

Why eat a variety of vegetables? They contain lots of great nutrients like potassium and vitamins A & C that keep our bodies healthy and strong.
Vegetables, like fruit, are full of fiber which helps keep our bellies full!
Remember! We should eat 1.5 to 2 cups of vegetables every day!
There are many ways we can eat them too- raw, cooked, fresh, frozen or canned, especially in the winter!
There are specific vegetables that are ripest and freshest in the winter. Let’s go through the top 5 vegetables available in the winter.

Kale

Kale is a dark green and is leafy veggie
It is a “super” veggie - full of vitamins, calcium and fiber
It keeps our eyes sharp, bones strong and our bellies full!

Brussel Sprouts

Brussel sprouts are also a dark green veggie, but hey look like little heads of lettuce
It is another great veggie full of vitamin K that keeps our heart pumping and our brains sharp!

Carrots

Carrots are orange and crips veggies
They are full of beta carotene which actually helps boost the vitamin A we have in our bodies- keeping our eyes healthy and our bodies growing!

Swiss Chard

Swiss chard is another darky green and leafy vegetable like kale
It is full of vitamins including A, C and K
Eating swiss chard will keep your body healthy inside and out!

Parsnips

Parsnips are similar to carrots but instead of being bright orange often look white or yellowish
Parsnips are full of vitamins and minerals like potassium, and magnesium too!
The minerals in parsnips help keep muscles like our heart muscle strong and pumping!

Health

Reading/Writing Activity:

Have students follow along to the story The Vegetables We Eat

Once the story is complete have students select one or two of the vegetables explained in the book and draw how the vegetable(s) grow (above or below ground). They should also use colors to describe the vegetable(s).

For each vegetable have them write a fact about how they grow and the best time for them to be planted.

Roasted Vegetables

Ingredients:

3 pounds root vegetables, such as carrots, parsnips and sweet potatoes
1 small red onion
1/4 cup olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh rosemary leaves

Directions:

Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat the oven to 425°F.
Peel 3 pounds root vegetables, if desired, then cut them into rough 1-inch chunks. Cut 1 small red onion into 1-inch chunks. Place the root vegetables and red onion on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with 1/4 cup olive oil, sprinkle with 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, and toss to evenly coat. Spread out in an even layer.
Roast for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, chop until you have 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped rosemary leaves.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven, sprinkle the vegetables with the rosemary, and toss to combine. Spread back out in an even layer. Continue to roast until the vegetables are tender and caramelized, 10 to 15 minutes more.
