Class Summary - Today students took a quiz on the information from the Eat Smart section on food rules. Then, students were asked to take out their chart of the 10 foods from each food group that we brainstormed previously. Our goal was to list at least 10 in each food group on a chart. We shared our answers and compiled a good list of examples for the food groups. We then started talking about the USDA recommendations for each food group. Each food group has foods that are healthier than others and ones that we should be eating less. In order to emphasize this recommendation the USDA gave a 'rule' or 'key message' for each food group. We will talk about each rule in the upcoming lessons. Just a reminder that as we get into the food group rules, students should be prepared for short quiz assessments during class periods.
