Creating a Healthy Plate and using iMovie!

Throughout our Nutrition Unit we have learned about MyPlate, healthy and unhealthy choices, beneficial nutrients and nutrition labels. Before vacation, students put all of their learning and discoveries together to create a balanced plate. Students were presented with the “Healthy Plate” challenge. Students’ healthy plates had to include a food item from each of the five food groups. Students then created an iMovie explaining their healthy plate.  Their video included which food group each food item belongs to, nutrients found in their food items and how these nutrients help their bodies.  On Tuesday, students learned how to upload their videos to YouTube and then embed their video onto their blogs!  You can view our iMovies by clicking here.  This was a very exciting project and the excitement comes through on these videos! If you have a moment please check out your child's video, students worked extremely hard on their videos and would love a comment (or two)!
