My Project

The items we are asking for will help the students in two major ways, fitness and nutrition.

These items will be used in many activities that will incorporate nutrition into the fitness activities.

The color coded equipment will be used to get students familiar with the different food groups that are represented in the MYPLATE symbol.

Using these color coded items will give my students a better understanding on nutrition and what they should be looking for when at the store with their parents. The students will also remember or corollate the colors with certain foods and food groups. I am excited and looking forward to pass this on to my students. Thank you!
