Healthy eating habits can never start too soon, and earning the nutritional value of different foods can be a plateful of fun. This issue introduces young eaters and readers to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s “MyPlate” icon that demonstrates how much room fruits, vegetables, grains, protein and dairy should each take up on your child’s plate—and why it’s important to create balance. The learning continues with ideas to take to the grocery store to plan menus for the family.
In this issue students will:
- learn about MyPlate icon from U.S. Department of Agriculture
- Understand components of a balanced meal
- Plan food for one week’s menu
