Then, as you integrate online learning into your classroom, you'll have a ready list of resources for web-based learning. Remember, the best sites offer a fun approach to learning about nutrition, and easy navigation. On this site, for example, your students can meet familiar characters from the Pyramid Explorations program. Keep Curriculum Materials Varied. Make online resources part of your curriculum, but not the exclusive source of your nutrition education program.
Children have different learning styles and benefit from multi-sensory input and shared activities.
For example, you may want to read The Pyramid Explorations Theater from the student workbooks, then browse the Pyramid Explorations area of this site for follow-up activities. Share Your Finds with Parents. Send an e-mail or letter to parents, letting them know you're focusing on the USDA Food Guide Pyramid and the Five Food Groups. Include a list of websites you and your students are using in the classroom. You may want to recommend that parents explore some of the sites listed on this website .
