Nutrition Activity with Dragon

The first story in our reading book is called Dragon Gets By. It is a silly story about crazy nutrition choices a dragon makes when he goes shopping. We learned about proper nutrition. We divided into teams and used grocery ads to cut out and glue the appropriate food to the correct area on the nutrition plate. The kids discovered some amazing things. One child noticed that there are more ads for bad food like fats, oils and sugars than there are for healthy foods.  Another child noticed that healthy food is more expensive than junk food. We also researched and found out that pumpkins and avocados can be considered fruits because they have seeds.
