These activities are designed for work by individual students, small groups, and entire classes.
Some activities extend beyond the classroom to link with cafeterias and local communities.
Teachers may also wish to recruit community partners as guest speakers, organize classroom taste testings, take students on fruit and vegetable related field trips, and organize interactive school-centered events. The School Mini Kit is a spiral bound booklet that contains 17 fruit and vegetable learning activities for fourth and fifth grade teachers and school food service personnel. Schools may be eligible to receive the Kit and other materials free of charge. Funding for the Cancer Prevention and Nutrition Section Web site comes from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The Public Health Institute provides the fiscal administration of this contract for the California Department of Health Services.
