The kids have been very intrigued by these lemons we have in our room. Not only do they continue to describe what it is like, they are using all of their senses to explore it.
Yesterday we had the opportunity to taste the lemon, but today they decided they wanted to try and open it up without a knife.
"It's going to be so hard!"
"I think we need a knife to open it."
"I think we need a knife to open it."
"I can't do it with just my hands."
It was very difficult to try and pierce the skin of the lemon. It didn't seem to budge no matter what the kids tried. Some tried hitting against the table, no luck. Others tried biting into it, no luck either.
"How are we going to open it?"
After scoring the skin of the lemon with a knife, the kids now had access to open it up. They would wedge their fingers in the open space created by the cut and begin to tear the peel off of the fruit itself.
"This is still so hard! It's like really hard and I think we should still use a knife."
"It's kind of like peeling a orange!"
Everyone has really enjoyed exploring the lemon and using all of their sense to find more about them. Our next quest: how many seeds does a lemon have?
