The boys in my group enjoyed learning about the importance of eating healthy, nutritious fruits and vegetables every day, said teacher Carol Anderson. They had fun creating aliens with crookneck squash, toothpicks, olives, parsley, carrots and raisins. This project enabled them to work, plan and cooperate as a team, and learn about a healthy diet at the same time. Somis Home Study Program won First Place in the Northwest K-2 category for their Alien with Three Alien Babies Salad Head . We recognize the importance of good nutrition for our students.
Good nutrition is a important component of overall student wellness.
We decided that the introduction of good nutrition to our students through the Salad Head project would be a great place to start.
