We started an intense nutrition lesson last week after covering the basic nutrition lessons that we have been studying this semester. Students made posters, and then brought in food containers of foods that they eat. We made categories for breakfast, lunch/dinner, snacks, and others. Students then rotated through stations and answered questions about each group. They then voted on the best choice. Students then went through one of the lunch periods and sat at tables with random people.
Students carried laptops and I-touches with them as well as the SBISD nutrition pamphlet that helps to break down food nutrition and calories for each food item. Boy was this an eye opener !!!! As they, went around different tables, students were able to see what food choices they had made with their lunches and what they could choose next time. Several of the comments from students was "Why are we being served foods that are so high in calories and fat" HUMMMMMM Maybe we will try to get something done about this in the future
