food
By Vicky

I teach third grade right now. I do a nutrition unit and a unit on ancient Egypt together- Pyramids! I also incorporate geometric solids into the study.
I got a great resource kit called "Dig In" free from The National Cattlemen's Beef Asscociation. It has a tape with a catchy little song and lots of activities. Also try www.fiveaday.com for a great program about fruits and vegetables. We did the play last year and it was a huge hit!
We tally and graph our food choices for a week. I have the kids plan a healthy meal and "shop" for the ingredients using the ads from our local paper.
I hope some of these ideas help!
