Nutrition Week of 10.28

This week in nutrition Ms. LaRose taught about how various food items can be part of one, two, three, four or all five food groups.  We discussed how an apple is only part of the fruit food group, however, other foods like mac and cheese and pizza are part of one or more food groups.  Students couldn't believe that pizza can be part of all five food groups.

Ms. Warren taught students about food items that can be found in each of the five food groups. Students are working hard on learning all five food groups and Ms. Warren played an awesome (catchy) song about the five food groups to help students remember them!

On Friday, we had another delicious healthy plate.  Food items that could be found on our Healthy Plate on Friday were: carrots, celery & cream cheese, hummus, pita chips, cantaloupe, grapes, apple cider and french vanilla Greek yogurt.  Thank you to all parents who have signed up to bring in a food item for our next Healthy Plate.  You can click here to be directed to the Sign-Up.
