"I teach wellness to students in grades K-8 at a charter school in Michigan. Our school has a focus on being healthy and making healthy choices. We celebrate Walk-to-School Day every year and have chosen to purchase healthy school lunches for our students.

Students have an opportunity to learn, in a hands-on way, about nutrition and their body from a teacher who practices wellness in her everyday life.

I am requesting books, videos and models that will help my students learn about nutrition and their bodies in a concrete and hands-on way.

This project will help my students become have healthier bodies and minds. We feel that if you don't have a healthy body, it is difficult to have a healthy mind for learning. HIDE

My human body/nutrition unit needs 11 resources, including body models, a Fruit & Vegetable Rainbow Foods Kit, a "Super Size Me" Educationally Enhanced DVD and a Some Body Game. The cost of this proposal is $933, which includes shipping for any materials requested and fulfillment ?."
