Introduction:
When students come into the classroom I will ask
them to choose their favorite food out of the box. The box is filled
with different fruits, vegetables, grains, protein, and sweets. To
start class off I will ask the children how often they eat this favorite
food. We will share our answers in a discussion. Then I will
ask the students which food group their food belongs too. I will
then be able to gather information on how much the students know about
the food guide pyramid.

all the notes

- students can choose to create a meal using a food from each food group; they will be given paper food to color, cut and paste on a plate.
