Nutrition for Preschool and Kindergarten

Your little learners will be engaged in activities related to learning about nutrition in these theme lesson plans. They will be sorting, graphing and identifying healthy and unhealthy food through games and other hands-on activities.  They will also be introduced to the five food groups. Related follow-up activities will reinforce what they have learned.  

• Understanding the differences between words and letters, tracking, understanding progression from left to right and top to bottom in reading.
• Focus is based on understanding and retrieving information
• Focus on identifying letters of the alphabet and rhyming
