This week in First Grade we’re studying nutrition. When I set out to build this unit I scoured the internet for ideas, and holy schmooley!!!!! There are a TON of fantastic resources for teaching nutrition on the WWW!
Unfortunately, my little nutrition unit is seriously smothered by time, so I had to compile a little bit of all of the resources I found into a small (okay, 18 page) book instead of using any online units. Hope it will help you!
And now for my own investigation of the little science called nutrition, I am going to explore the yummy looking cupcake on my desk...!!!
Happy eating!

I would love to see your nutrition unit, but when I click on the link it says the document is not available.
ReplyDeleteGoodness gracious, me! I am so terribly sorry that the link didn't work!
ReplyDeleteI tried creating a new link. If that doesn't work, just shoot me an email and I'll send you a copy of the book using good old fashioned email!
I also plan to put up a little food group sort and activity to go with this book as soon as I can get back to my precious little school computer! Just FYI :)
Sorry again! Have a GREAT night!

ReplyDeleteI really love your nutrition book! I write nutrition lesson plans for homeschoolers in upper elementary & middle school. I've posted on my blog about your awesome nutrition book for the younger siblings of my homeschoolers. You've done a beautiful job with this. Thanks for sharing! Oh, and here's a link to the post I did about your book:

ReplyDeleteNutrition (also called nourishment or aliment) is the provision, to cells and organisms, of the materials necessary (in the form of food) to support life. Many common health problems can be prevented or alleviated with a healthy diet.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great nutrition unit. It is just what I was looking for to start my studies on healthy eating!
ReplyDeleteHi, I saw this on Pinterest and would love to use it for my nutrition week. The link seems to not work so I was wondering if you could email it to me? If so, my email is shell10_s@hotmail.com. Thanks so much!

HI There,
ReplyDeleteI would also love your nutrition/food group booklet but am having trouble opening it as well. Would you mind sending it to me via email? Thanks so much!

Hi, could you please send the book to me as well. Thank you!

Can you please send me a copy at blaxosxr@gmail.com ?
ReplyDeleteThanks
If possible, could you please send me a copy at ryannoteboom@gmail.com. This looks like it will be a great resource for our nutrition studies! Thanks
ReplyDeleteI think the book has great content but it disappoints me that there isn't proper sentence structure or capitalization. Drives me crazy when my first graders don't capitalize the word "I", let alone a teacher resource!
ReplyDeleteI actually agree completely It's Just Me. Valuable feedback and an oversight on my part.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the constructive criticism!!

Hi This link is not working for me. It only loads 4 pages and then stops. I really love the first four pages so I'm hoping to be able to get the rest. Thank you

ReplyDeleteHere is another educational post about nutrition. It's more than simply necessary to follow all those strict directions to be strong and healthy for the rest of your life!
ReplyDeleteOh! Thank you so much for this little book! I am getting together a tiny nutrition course together for my Homeschool Preschool/Kindergarten boys and this is just perfect for them! I especially love that it's in black and white so my non-color printer will do a fine job at printing and my kids can just color their hearts out! So far, for our little nutrition week we've read through "Why Do We Eat" Usborne book (I don't have the collection of Usborne, just this one I found at a consignment sale for $0.75!), and I'm going to let my kids make grocery lists and go shopping with some of their own money (that's what I call a win/win!) Thanks again!
ReplyDeleteIs there a completed book with answers filled in? I have some possible answers to the fill in the blank, but not sure if its how I want to word it to my students.
ReplyDeleteHi Miss Taylor,
ReplyDeleteI do not have a completed book with answers. Sorry! If you have any questions about specific blanks, send them to me and I'd be happy to answer them!
I don t have the time at the moment to fully read your site but I have bookmarked it and also add your RSS feeds. I will be back in a day or two. thanks for a great site.
