Healthy Eating Is on the Menu
Curriculum Review, v46 n5 p9 Jan 2007
This article features the website materials devoted to the latest federal guidelines, called MyPyramid at: www.mypyramid.gov, which is developed by the United States Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service. While this site can be helpful to a host of health professionals, it also contains valuable information that may help K-6 educators apply nutrition and physical activity across the curriculum. Aside from the interactive web-based games and activities for children being included in the site, the USDA has also developed elementary level materials to teach students about MyPyramid through fun initiatives, and provides lessons for teachers with easy to follow instructional materials, student worksheets, and activities for parents designed to integrate nutrition with science, math, health, and language arts.
Descriptors: Worksheets, Instructional Materials, Physical Activities, Nutrition Instruction, Web Sites, Federal Regulation, Guidelines, Health Promotion, Physical Activity Level, Educational Games, Elementary School Students, Class Activities, Holistic Approach, Child Health, Eating Habits
