Dear Parents,
Today in class we learned about nutrition and healthy eating habits. First, we gathered around the carpet and talked about the different food groups. I had made a food pyramid poster to demonstrate to the students the different amounts of each food group they should eat daily. Then I separated the children into six groups. Each group of children was given a different category of the food pyramid, the carbohydrates, fruits, vegetables, meat/ protein, dairy, or fats. They then were instructed to search through the food magazines I had provided and find foods that fit their specific food category. For example, the fruit group cut out pictures of apples, oranges, and bananas. After each group completed their food group collage, we taped them on the food pyramid poster. Each child was allowed to say their favorite food in the food group and explain why. The children really learned a lot about the different food groups and daily recommended amounts.
Sincerely,
Ms. Gammell
