FROM FARM TO FOOD:

• Wheat fact: Kansas produces enough wheat each year to feed everyone in the world for about 2 weeks.
• Honey fact: A single honeybee produces only 1/12 teaspoon honey in its lifetime.
• Apple fact: Apples come from apple trees and are harvested in the fall.

OTHER HINTS: 

What a great way to start the day. Breakfast eaters do better in school and have more energy after eating breakfast! If you have any muffins left, tightly wrap with plastic wrap or plastic bags for a great after-school snack.
