Dragon Gets By teaches us about nutrition!

In our reading book Dragon makes bad nutrition choices. We wrote about our own good and bad nutrition choices. We learned about the government's program to teach children about a balanced diet and good nutrition. It is called the Nutrition Plate.  The kids were split into teams and went through newspaper ads and matched food pictures to the appropriate part of the plate. Some of the interesting comments I heard included; "Wow, there is a lot of garbage food in newspapers.  Fruits and vegetables come in lots of different colors. There are lots of kinds of proteins. I didn't know there were some many different foods in this world." There was great team work and super fun learning!
