All About Grass

Our 4 Winds lesson for this month was all about grass. Kids had a chance to learn about different types of grass, to actually touch and explore tall grasses, and to eat some snack that was made from grass(grain). A big thank you to Emma and Angela for this excellent lesson on grasses.
 

 
Everyone also got to make a "grass head" to see how quickly grass seeds will grow. Maybe we will be able to do grass haircuts too!

    Corn is considered a New World food which if I remember right that means that it came from the Americas rather than Europe or Asia, right?

    Corn was domesticated from a Mexican wild grass 8,700 years ago. There is a grass in Mexico that is "the closest ancestor" to corn or something like that, but corn itself is not a grass. There is a beautiful native American legend told by the Hopi Indians about how when they seperated to the 4-corners of the Earth and then they had to reunite each group had to choose a food to take with them and corn was the favorite... something like that. Today the Hopi Indians grow that blue corn that you see in the corn chips. The kids might like the myth.
