Nutrition in the Classroom

These virtual lesson will provide students with basic nutrition education including healthy eating habits using the USDA MyPlate model. They will address the five food groups, foods included in each food group, how many servings of each food group we should have in a day, and basic health benefits of each food group (calcium for strong bones). Additionally, nutrition in the classroom will also incorporate several fun and interactive games designed to increase each student's knowledge of nutrition.

Nutrition in PE

Students will be provided basic nutrition education through interactive and fun age appropriate games including bowling, tag, and card games designed to educate and test knowledge of various nutrition topics.

Blender Bike Class

Blender Bike is a fun and interactive way to teach students about nutrition and healthy eating. Students will participate in interactive discussions coupled with games designed to increase their knowledge of the five food groups, sources of each group, as well as the importance of a healthy well-balanced diet. All discussions and activities are tailored to each grade level. Students will also have the ability to make smoothies using our signature "Blender Bike".
For 3rd-5th grade students, a pre-test and 60-day post-test are required.
