Check-In with everyone
Hello everyone. Can anyone remember any greetings that have gone out of style? What's the latest slang greeting that all "the cool kids" are using?
*High Priority Vocabulary handout
Most people should have this sheet to follow at home but use the digital copy to share and review together. It is often difficult to follow instructions in a group. The more familiar we are with the words that give directions, the better job we'll do when it's important to follow them.

Show & Share
Do you have an idea for something you would like to sell? Very often when people have a hard time getting a permanent job they decide to go into business for themselves. Most businesses sell THINGS that other people want to buy. Can you imagine anything you can make or know a lot about that you would like to sell? Tell us about it.
If you were to start a business selling that, what would your store look like? Would you make a website? How would you get customers to look at your product?
Tomorrow's Show & Share: Do you have any skills that people have paid you for? Tomorrow we'll share valuable skills we each have.

Take a look at the linked handout to see the reasons vegetables are healthy. If you have the sheet at home you can put it on the fridge as a reminder.
Watch this video to learn about Antioxidants. (NO! Not Oxey Dance. No dancing cattle here.)
The matching worksheet can be used as a way to learn words in another language. Can your group figure out the names for these vegetables in Spanish, French, Vietnamese, German, Tagalog, American Sign Language, or some other language?
Play With Your Food
PRESENTERS: open this book link and choose the "Look Inside" option to see photos inside the book.
Look at these creative photos of food
Use them as inspiration for the activity sheet that comes next.
*DRAWING for fun and learning.
Most folks got this printout in their package.
Here's a great wordless video on how to draw vegetables
People can draw and share their drawing, search online for a favorite vegetable and share their screen to show everyone, show the camera a picture of their favorite vegetable, or show the camera a REAL vegetable right from their kitchen!
DON'T FORGET to answer the questions on the worksheet. Why do you like it? When do you eat it? Why is it good for you?
Community Outing
This week is about being in business and people who create businesses, often called ENTREPRENEURS. You might be a business owner someday if you decide that is something you want.
A lot of businesses are about health and wellness.
Can you come up with at least 3 different types of businesses that help people with health, nutrition, and fitness?
Let's hav a virtual outing on google maps and see if we can spot the wellness-related businesses using these searches.
PRESENTERS: Use the links below to go to a google map search result for a subject and location. Look in the lower right of the map under the plus/minus icons. There is a little orange/yellow person icon.
Click and hold your mouse on that icon and drag it up over the map space, like a kitten in its mother's mouth. Drop it on a location the map to go to Google Stree view.
You travel along the road by clicking on the road in front of you. You can look around at what's on the street by click dragging your mouse around the view. See if you can spot some of the health or wellness businesses from the search results.
