Nutrition Culminating Activity

Throughout our Nutrition Unit we have learned about My Plate, healthy and unhealthy choices, beneficial nutrients and nutrition labels. Over the next week, students will put all of their learning and discoveries together to create a balanced plate. Tomorrow, students will be presented with the “Healthy Plate” challenge. Students’ healthy plates will include a food item from each of the five food groups. Students will create their food items using Play-Doh and will create an iMovie explaining their healthy plate including, which nutrients can be found in their food items, how these nutrients help their bodies and why their plate is a balance healthy meal. On Friday, students will be presenting their iMovies to their classmates (in both Ms. LaRose's and Ms. Warren’s class). It is going to be a very exciting week!  Stay tuned for the iMovies students will be creating as they will be posted to our classroom blog.
