This week we are beginning to talk about healthy living in our classroom.  We will be learning about good nutrition and the importance of exercise.

Today, we began with healthy eating habits.  During a large group instruction time, I took a piece of chart paper and divided into 4.  I drew a picture of one food from each food group in a corner.  I had several pictures of healthy foods, as well as a few pictures of unhealthy foods upside down on a table, each with a piece of tape on it.  I had one picture for each child in our classroom.  The children got to pick one and then we all helped figure out which food group it belonged to.  Once we were done, I hung the paper on the wall so we can use it as a reference guide for upcoming lessons.
