Thematic Backpack (Ece214)

Giving them two or more choices and let them decide what they like, giving more details about the food will help them to choose.

Teaching and guidance was the main thing provided to the fourth graders at this particular focus on health. To begin, a poster board was provided in which nutritional information was

-A Jewish/Israeli cooking class: The group could get together and learn to make traditionally Jewish and Israeli foods.

* Explain individuals about the importance of a healthy diet and encourage and support the m to choose healthy options and alternatives.

After discussion of the hamburger pre-write I will show the students a hamburger pre-write that I have previously completed and I will explain out loud what I did when filling the worksheet out. I will also use this time to show the students the general rubric I will be grading their work with and go over it with my example and show them what score I would receive. As a whole class we will fill out a hamburger pre-write together, the students will give their ideas and I will record them for the whole class to see. I will ask open ended questions if I want more from an answer and will guide the students into feeling comfortable in filling this out on their

As a teacher, you have the opportunity to share the knowledge you have gained in this course with your colleagues to support a collaborative approach to shared health, nutrition, and safety goals. For your Final Project, you will create a presentation for other educators in your center that is focused on the development of a program valuing health, nutrition, and safety.

I did this activity with 3 children. I first had them sit down while I read the book “Sort it Out” by Barbara Mariconda, after reading the book we talked about the different items that Pack rat came home with, and how his mother told him to sort them out. We discussed what items at home had to go in a particular place, for example, dishes in the kitchen, beds, in the bedrooms, toilets in the bathrooms, to list a few. We followed by talking about the types of shoes we were wearing, and the color of the shoes. How we were all wearing sneakers, and how every one was wearing a different color. I Introduced them to the Jumbo Pegs, and the Pegboards, and I went over the different colors inside the tub. I asked they what their favorite color was, and once we they had all chose their color, I asked them to grab a pegboard, and look through the container for the color they choose, and place them into the pegboard. They all started

Meals and snacks are part of the overall learning experience. Breakfast, lunch, and an afternoon snack are served daily. Meal times are as follows: a.m. snack between 8:30 and 9:00; lunch between 11:30 and 12:00; p.m. snack about 3:00 PM-3:30 PM. Menus are posted weekly. Meals are served family style in the classrooms. Children’s nutritional needs are met with foods provided by the Center. We ask that families not send food with their children, except under special circumstances when they have made arrangements with the director and the teacher(s).

Related to my role as a teacher, I have to make sure that learner have to be safe in leaning environment, I must prevent, remove or use with precaution anything that wouldn’t affect the learner’s health and safety. If the student are doing some kind of test in a science lab, we must make sure there is nothing on the floor, all the bag and chairs have to be remove an put in safe place, they have to use gloves if necessary and wear a goggle for eyes protection, and always wash hands at the end of session.

Dailey and Ellin quote Levine by saying, “‘The idea is to fight obesity and not obese people’”(579). By learning to cook nutritional meals, students will have the tools neccessary to fight the disease that is plaguing their country. To show that households have lost their way of food preparation, Pollan recalls a conversation with Harry Baltzer: “‘Not going to happen,’ he told me. ‘Why? Because we’re basically cheap and lazy. And besides, the skills are already lost. Who is going to the next generation to cook? I don’t see it’”(584). Schools are designed to supply students with the knowledge to thrive. Therefore, they should include information on culinary arts because it will help reestablish the ideals once thought to be traditional. Likewise, Beebe and Thompson state, “By changing our children’s environment so they have access to healthy foods and physical activity, we improve the opportunity for all members of a community to improve their health”(1). Their statement reinforces the idea that students who learn healthy recipes in school are more likely to lead a healthy

Number 12 on a list of things people regretted the most during old age is wishing they had taken better care of their bodies (Hudson). As a community, finding ways to increase children’s interest in their health is our obligation. One Step at a Time integrates fun into making healthy snacks by filling the tops of tables in the lunchroom with fruits, veggies, and whole grains once a month. One Step encourages the kids to experiment and find different recipes they enjoy. After the children have tested and approved of many different meals, snacks, and even smoothies, volunteers for One Step will create a cookbook filled with loads of recipes. One Step and its attendees will sell copies of the cookbook and any funds will go directly towards funding the exciting, educational

Of all of the problems that dishearten children today, the one that bothers them the most is being unhealthy. Five out of six students from the Manalapan Englishtown Middle School agree that there should be a change in the schools' cafeteria foods; they came up with a solution to help kids be healthy. Unhealthy foods should be eliminated in schools for many reasons. First of all, kids concentrate better when they are healthy. Being healthy helps children to concentrate better because if they are healthy in the inside and the outside, they will not have to worry about their health or how they look. Secondly, having only healthy foods in school help parents to take good care of their kids. For instance, imagine a mom that is a seventh

Warm Up: Large Group: Activity: Teacher will read the story about Johnny Appleseed. Then chart information of how he was being a good citizen.

The lesson that I got to observe was Math. Miss. Phillips started on the smartboard with naming shapes and then she asked four to five students to look around the classroom and find the shapes they were naming from the smartboard. One student found an oval and another student had found a square each student found what Miss. Phillips had asked them to find, then all the students had traced in the air with their finger what shapes Miss. Phillips called out. Now she plays the dice game, each number that it lands on the student writes down and then add each number on the dice. Example 2+5= 7 and then she ask the students to show the number on their hands. Miss. Phillips has some actives set up around the room for them to do Math centers, one table has AB Patterns table 2 has ABB patters then at table 3 has number writing 0-5 at the end of the lesson she had the students meet back at the ABC rug and then they played counting to 100 by singing and dancing, a

2. During this portion of the assignment the parent/student will create a healthy meal with snacks using the food pyramid, giving one or more example why it is a healthy choice or not a healthy choice.
