- Lesley: In talking about our experiences at service learning this year, we’ve all been amazed and astounded at the results we achieved. By the end of our time at Appletree, it was obvious that our students had retained most, if not all of the information we had given them. This was exemplified in our “wrap up day,” where during our final visit we had the kids participate again in some of their favorite activities from throughout the semester. As soon as they saw the materials or the set up of the activity, they were immediately shouting out everything they remembered - from things like “GERMS! We’re going to learn about GERMS!” to “Are we going to find the turkeys now?” The kids’ retention of material can also be exemplified in that they remembered, in February, our pumpkin lesson from our second visit. Almost every week when we would ask them to name a healthy, tasty food they would yell “pumpkin seeds!,” a food that most of them had never even heard of before we came to Appletree. An important result of our time at Appletree was also the fact that the children gained the ability to identify foods as “sometimes foods” or “always foods.” This was a big focus of our teaching about diet, and by the end of our time at Appletree students were able to identify things like cake and ice cream as “sometimes foods” and green beans, oranges, and fruits and vegetables in general as “always foods.” And finally, while at Appletree our students made a lot of progress in their recognition and recall of healthy foods, as well as understanding different forms of exercise and physical fitness. For example, during our first visits at Appletree many of the students needed to be guided toward even naming a vegetable. By the end of our time at Appletree students were not only able to name several vegetables, but could name a green vegetable when asked, or a yellow fruit. Also, by the end of our time at Appletree students were able and excited to tell us their favorite exercises and demonstrate to us how they were supposed to be performed (the favorites included jumping jacks, and dancing/moving their bodies in a random and fast-paced manner).
