I'm always amazed at how much Faith retains when we introduce a new subject.
When we finished this lesson, she immediately went to Grandma's room to "teach" her too.
This week,we learned a little bit about good nutrition. If you haven't visited www.homeschoolfreebieoftheday.com you are missing out on some good resources.
This is where I came across a couple of nutrition freebies that became a huge hit!
First we learned about the USDA recommended food pyramid. We did a little cut and paste project with this. Faith caught on real quick to which foods go where.
Next, we compared three different food pyramids and discussed the differences along with our thoughts about which one seemed like the healthiest guide to follow. Faith and I decided that the Willet's Food Guide Pyramid is the one we would like to try to follow; currently we stick closest to the USDA guide.
Last, we made a pyramid depicting all three guides. This was a very easy
project which we both enjoyed.
Another successful, enjoyable, home school afternoon. :)
