My Project

This project was created to fund materials in a new unit that begins this spring. This spring, we will be learning how to eat healthy and take care of our bodies. The fruit counters and five major food groups are great materials to teach students about eating healthy. The smoothie maker will teach children how they can eat their fruits in different ways. The exercise lakeshore box is a great way for students to get up and get their bodies moving by exercising as well as the dumbbell and other exercise equipment.
