Week as of January 25th - January 29th

Last week we began our Nutrition Unit by going over the Food Guide Pyramid. We made an Interactive Writing Piece to summarize what we had discussed. Students wrote examples each of the food groups and the servings recommended. We also saw a video and students completed most of the questions. We will be reviewing the answers Tuesday and will be graded as homework.
All the above will be included in our Test Thursday, January 28th.
Tuesday students will be given a format "My Pyramid Worksheet" which they will need to complete Wednesday during class(Graded).
As a review for the test we will be watching another video.
We will be discussing the following:

• Make half your grains whole
• Vary your veggies
  
• Focus on Fruits
  
• Get your calcium-rich foods
• Go lean with Proteins
• Physical Activity
  

We will be making conversions using the Customary System understanding when each is used
cups
ounces
pounds
tablespoons
teaspoons
pints
gallons
quarts

It is really important that students learn this material, not only for a grade in a test, ut to learn to select healthy choices.
