Seeds and Trail Mix

Seed matching game

Seeds are a great source of protein and nutrients.  This March the 2nd- 4th graders learned about pollination, fruits and seeds.  The students had a fun time playing a matching game.  Students were challenged to match a bowl of seeds with the plant or tree the seed came from.  Afterwards, students added seeds and fruit together to make a sweet and convenient snack pack.  The bags of trail mix were seen everywhere around Bay View. Students enjoyed their snack at lunch, after school and at recess.  Add the ingredients below to a Ziploc bag to share these scrumptious seeds with your family.
