Response to Q. 1

At my job I had to guide a group of first graders through the grocery store. I really didn’t know much about produce and diary so instead of explaining how every thing was made, I explain why we need everything that’s in a grocery store. I explained how we eat a pomegranate. I asked if they new names of the vegetables in produce. I asked if they new a difference between a fruit or a vegetable.
The first graders interacted with me in a way that made me laugh, they were all so cute. They knew so much on calcium and how we need it to have strong bones. They knew that tomatoes are a fruit because of its seeds. They also had never touched an Aloe Vera plant: seeing there reactions and comments made my whole day.
At first I thought I was going to get them all confused and tired. I also though they would get bored of the things I say, and look at me with a blank expression. Although I learned that it’s ok to be nerves but if you actually put in effort and show enthusiasm, you are most likely to get a response from the audience. The kids were all so happy with the tour, well that’s what I think.
