Carrot Challenge!

In Health class we have been discussing Healthy Eating and what foods contribute to a well-balanced diet. We have also looked at the nutrients and vitamins in these foods. My Grade 5s were amazed at the health benefits of eating only one raw carrot a day. So, we all decided to take the Carrot Challenge! Some kids forgot their carrots this week but next week we're aiming for 100% class participation. Come on 5D, we can do this! I'm eating my carrots, are you?

Promoting lifelong health and wellness! Good job to those students that have already started the challenge! I'm pleased :-)

Next week, we'll be examining nutrition facts tables and ingredient lists on food labels in order to make healthier personal food choices. This should be interesting! Can't wait to engage my students in a discussion about the ingredients in some popular food products. 

Nutrition Education in Grade 5 - priceless! It creates savvy consumers who are more aware of healthy eating and lifestyle choices. Let's hope the lessons learned will carry over into adulthood!
