We continued our Nutrition Unit this week by discussing daily food choices and the importance of eating breakfast every morning. Students worked with a partner to plan a healthy breakfast menu that included food choices from at least three of the food groups. I was pleased to see how many students eat breakfast every day. Studies have shown that "students that eat breakfast do much better in school than the breakfast-skippers". I still need to encourage a few non-believers.
Have a wonderful spring break!

Fruit Kebabs!
The sixth grade students made Fruit Kebabs with Yogurt Dip for their lab this week. The students worked well with their lab partners and had successful lab results. They need to work more efficiently while washing dishes. I know they will improve with practice.
We spent time in the IMC this week in order to learn more about making healthy food choices. Students were able to plan a healthy day of eating and then program their choices into the "food tracker" on the USDA "Choose My Plate" website. Students were able to analyze their food intake and determine where they needed to make adjustments. I have included a link to this site: http://www.choosemyplate.gov
Have a nice weekend.

Manners Do Matter!
The sixth grade students had a busy week filled with ISAT testing and quite a bit of snow.
We discussed good manners and appropriate table etiquette this week in Consumer Education. The students seem to be well versed in this area. They did a nice job brainstorming the good manners that they use everyday. The students were able to identify specific table manners as they worked with their lab partners to complete a crossword puzzle. I am sure that they practice these same good manners at home, too.
We are beginning our Nutrition Unit. The students will need to complete their three-day nutrition log for class on Monday.
Have a good weekend.

Creamy Caramel Apple Dip with Granny Smith Apples
The first cooking lab for the 6th grade students went very well this week. The students made creamy caramel apple dip which they served with Granny Smith apples. The students followed the recipe instructions quite well. Several kitchen labs completed clean up on time! I am sure the other groups will improve next week!
I was impressed with how well the students worked with their lab partners. It will take time for them to feel comfortable with all of the new lab procedures here at Lakeview, but I am sure they are up for the task.
Have a nice weekend!
