Serving Up MyPlate is a collection of classroom materials that helps elementary school teachers integrate nutrition education into Math, Science, English Language Arts, and Health. This yummy curriculum introduces the importance of eating from all five food groups using the MyPlate icon and a variety of hands–on activities. Students also learn the importance of physical activity to staying healthy. Curriculum components:
- Teacher’s Guides: Each Teacher’s Guide has three inquiry-driven lessons that help children discover nutrition, explain their understandings, and reflect upon their experiences – all of which encourage a lasting awareness of what it means to be healthy.
- Level 1 (Grades 1 and 2), Level 2 (Grades 3 and 4), and Level 3 (Grades 5 and 6)
- Print Availability: Elementary schools participating in the National School Lunch Program or other child nutrition program may use the resource order form to request a free print copy of the Teacher’s Guides.
