Our class has been learning about healthy eating and the amount of sugar contained in common drinks.  They made menus that highlighted the Canada Food Guide's daily recommended servings in each food group.  Now, they are working on creating original smoothies according to the set criteria.  We will be needing some blenders to be brought to school.  If you are able to send one to school please write me a note in the planner.  Also, if your child has a food allergy, please write that in a note as well.

We've started a unit on nutrition and healthy eating.  Students have learned about the amount of sugar in common drinks and how to make healthy choices.  We have also gone over the Canada Food Guide.  Now, students are working on a two part assignment where they will create a menu with healthy choices for meals and snacks that has the correct portions of the four food groups.  The second part of this unit will have students creating original recipes for healthy smoothies which we will create in class and sample as well.  More details will follow as we work through this unit.
