Healthy Eating Habits
Program Title: Choose My Plate
Kendra Stover visited us from the Shawnee County Extension Office this week to talk with us about how to fill our breakfast dishes, lunch trays, and dinner plates with healthy choices that include choices from the following food groups:
FRUITS, VEGETABLES, PROTEINS, GRAINS, AND DAIRY
Encourage a wide variety of choices from each of these groups every day.

| Taking our Healthy Eating Habits Pre-Test... |
 |
| Kendra Stover shares with us how to read a food label. |
 |
| Lynde reads her food label to find the serving size. |
 |
| This program, Choose My Plate, helps us focus on healthy eating habits for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and even snacks! |
 |
| Listening in on how to make good choices... |
 |
| Each student got a pretend piece of food with a label on the back. We had to make the choice of which food group it was part of and the meal that we would most likely eat it in. |
 |
| Tyler checks out the information on the back of his banana. One serving size of fruit is something that can fit in one hand: one apple, one banana, small bunch of grapes... |
 |
| One half cup of goldfish crackers makes a great afternoon snack! |
 |
| We colored our own plates as our guest speaker walked us through each of the different food groups. |
 |
| We brought our foods up to the board to create healthy plates. |
 |
| Kiwi would be great for breakfast or maybe a mid morning snack. |
 |
| Andrew adds peanuts to the snack plate. |
 |
| Gavin adds a healthy choice on the breakfast plate. |
 |
| Blaize studies the label on the back of his salmon to decide where it should go. |
 |
| Our Finished Plates...Healthy and Delicious! :) |
