Each week we change jobs in our class. The most popular job is class nutritionist. The job requires the student to make a tally chart of the healthy vs. non-healthy snacks each morning. We do this to encourage healthy choices daily. For example, if a student packed an apple and cookies in their lunch we hope they choose to eat the apple at 10:00am! Then, they can save their cookies for a treat during lunchtime.
Nutrition is very important topic for our youngsters. Educating them ten minutes a day during snack is the perfect timing for a healthy conversation. 10 minutes a day + 5 days a week = 1 class in nutrition weekly Snack smart for your heart!
