Today we spent part of the day talking about nutrition and the food pyramid... I found 2 great books at the library and got some free info, worksheets, and posters from the USFDA...
So here is some of the things we used for our lesson... One of the books is a "Reading Rainbow Selection" by Lorren Leedy... The other is by Gail Gibbons...
We took a look at our favorite foods and talked about where they would fit in the pyramid and then we looked at our house menus and if they were balanced and healthy...(I could use some work in that area..*L*)
Here is a file to take a look at for use with the Edible Pyramid book...
There is also some great info to be found this site by the author, Loreen Leedy...
And you can get some ideas for the book here...
Then we cut up some magazines and made some posters of "Healthy Sally" and "Junk Food Johnny"... We just made peopl using the pictures of food from the magazines... The kids loved this...
Happy Learning!!!
