Tasting Herbs

We have been growing a basil and strawberry plant in class, we don't have much to show for it yet but the children were curious about what basil was and asked about some other herbs.  I brought in some basil and parsley, our cleaner Rosemary brought in mint and chives from her garden.  I took in some cherry tomatoes to have with the basil.  Children tasted and smelled the herbs and talked about if they had eaten them before and what kinds of food it would be nice with.
