We started off our healthy eating unit with a simple KWL chart to see what the students knew.
Students knew a lot of different foods that were healthy and unhealthy, but they didn’t have much knowledge about what makes those foods healthy.
They wondered why we need vitamins in our diet. And they also wondered why the foods we listed are considered healthy.
After reading our book What's So Yummy, we came to learn that milk and meat help us grow big and strong. We also learned that sugar isn’t good for us, which means there must be sugar in unhealthy foods like donuts and cake.
