The nutrition module, Eat Good Food, Dude . . . Nutrition for Great Health, is very good. The materials were of high interest to students, had great graphics (I enjoyed the pyramid supplement), it had so much information - which gave the teacher a choice on how much to use it. ~ Mark Smith, A music teacher pre school to 6th and an after school High School class
Hi Jyl, I have been using the Hip Hop Healthy Heart Program in my class. We are currently on the Groovin' Grains. We did the rice experiment and the worksheet for the various grains in which they had to figure out the state it was in as well was very challenging for my students! They have planners with a U.S. map in them, so they were using those to figure out the states that grew corn, wheat, etc... I think they are definitely learning. I incorporate it with our Science program, where we have been studying the heart and digestive system, so it fits in beautifully. My students in Globe are more economically disadvantaged, so the study of nutrition has been all the more beneficial. When we did chapter 1, I thought they should know what a "healthy snack" is, so I brought in apples and tortilla shells, gave them tips for putting cheese or jelly, etc, on the tortilla shells, and they just love anything with food. I was cutting the apples and passing out the slices, and they even wanted the cores, so I had no trouble getting rid of every bit of it. Thank you for a great program. ~ Ann
