These hands on lessons give the practice all kids need to try new foods at Maude Trevvett Elementary. These unique ideas below help turn food into lessons and lessons
into food:
- Fruit is arranged on skewers (or toothpicks) to teach a lesson on patterns, and then kids eat the results.
- Pipe cleaners are used by special education students to make a mobile of "carrots, grapes, apples, cherries, bananas" which is displayed on the hallway bulletin board.
- One Friday each month , kids enjoy "Fun Fruit Friday" using fresh fruit for a snack while reading a book that features the fruit.
Incorporating healthy messages into any classroom in a variety of ways does not require a special event or extensive preparation.
