It was fun and we learned about some more things we never knew. This teaches us how healthy foods can help our body grow and still be good to eat. Starting a Team Nutrition Garden as part of their Health Action Team activities gives students the opportunity to practice reading and language skills from such diverse activities as planting instructions on seed packets to food preparation instructions in recipes. Math skills improve when used to determine when, where and how much to plant. Science skills are enhanced as students study regional soil variations and the nutritive elements that must be present for plants to grow.
Students participate in a show and tell activity about the types of plants and their parts.
Students match foods to food groups in a Nifty Nutrition Activity.
