The 6th graders continued their 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.
The 7th grade students continued their investigation of nutrition, as well. The students worked on their Chrome Books to create a "WeVideo" describing one of the essential nutrients needed to keep us healthy. Each student was able to identify a nutrient and provide information about its function in the body. Students also included specific food sources that supply these nutrients. Nice job!
Have a nice weekend!
