Day Two

Today we learned about food, and got real hungry!! I brought in 3 bowls of Fruit Loops, and let the class decide which one was the correct portion. We learned that most people pick the one that has too much, teaching us that we tend to eat too much. I handed out food labels and we compared a few of them to see which one would be the healthier option. We learned that choosing a pita over a bun was healthier, and Smart Balance Margerine had half the calories and fat of real butter. I showed them the correct serving size of a bottle of soda, and how to tell that for themselves. David and I then showed the class how to portion out a correct serving of potato chips, and how it is better to put chips in a bowl to prevent ourselves from eating too much. At last, we finished our nutrient assignment. I have included my lesson plan.
