Given the alarming rate of childhood obesity and type 2 diabetes, teaching healthy eating habits is essential. Students truly enjoyed the hands-on games and puzzles. Teaching the food groups and proportions is the first steps towards balanced meal planning. Let's hope the pattern continue throughout their lifetimes as students expand their knowledge of nutrition and fitness. \r\n\r\nTo follow up I will be teaching students how to read food labels and recognize the different names for sugar. \r\n\r\nThanks again for your tremendous generosity.","fullyFundedDate":1738786155820,"projectUrl":"project/fostering-healthy-nutritional-habits/8917235/","projectTitle":"Fostering Healthy Nutritional Habits","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. I.

My students love the materials. First they assemble, then they read the problem-solving short stories. There are three versions: building relationships, empathy, and decision-making. Critical, appropriate skill development at any age level. Students work in pairs taking turns reading. These kits will be used for decades at my school building essential literacy, tactile and interpersonal skills. Character education is a central theme in my classroom, these kits provide an engaging way to deliver the lessons.

Given health issues that plague our youth, preparing nutritious meals is critical. Lately we've been spending time analyzing the ingredients that are in highly processed foods. I've discovered that a majority of my students' diet is ultra processed. They have little experience with fresh, whole foods, both consuming and understanding the health benefits. Cooking using simple, direct from nature ingredients is eye opening for our youth. Healthy can be delicious given natural herbs, spices and open minds.
