Join students across Canada in taking one big synchronized bite towards healthy living and healthy eating. Last year’s 112,352 participants made the loudest coordinated crunch yet!
FoodShare’s annual Great Big Crunch invites students and teachers to learn about healthy eating and local and global food systems while following the journey from the apple seed to the harvest, to the market and to the core.
On Thursday, March 8th, run the Great Big Crunch in your classroom and enhance your students’ understanding of the food system through the journey of an apple from seed to table. Distribute the apples to your students and on your count, have the whole class take a Great Big Crunch together at 2:30pm E.S.T! To take part, simply fill out the registration form and fax it back to 416.363.0474, Attention: Brooke Ziebell, Field to Table Schools.
You can Download FoodShare’s Great Big Crunch classroom activities, available online, or develop your own. To share your apple activities or photos with others, please forward them onto us at thegreatbigcrunch@foodshare.net.
