Title: Let's Eat!

Teachers: Collier, Kalt, Scott

Business: Childcare Works Ohio and the Children's Hunger Alliance

Description: Nutrition is an important life skill-as important as reading or math. What your students eat (or don't eat) can affect their health, growth, and ability to learn. Food is the fuel people use to run their bodies. It's important for your students to eat proper foods so that they can grow and have enough energy to work and play. Students need to learn how to make healthy food choices-a skill that they'll use the rest of their lives. The authentic learning activities in this curriculum unit are appropriate for students in first through third grade classrooms. This curriculum is designed so every learner can understand basic nutrition concepts, master simple meal planning skills, and experience success.
