Starting September 29, Bonny White from UVM Extension, began coming in to the second grade with the Book 'n Bag Nutrition Program. She will alternate weeks in each room, teaching the children about the food groups and making healthy choices with regard to fueling their bodies. This week she was in Mrs.Verespy's class, and next week she'll work with Mrs. Kane's students. She reads the children a book, teaches them a game to promote physical activity, has them wash their hands, and then help prepare the food. Finally we all get to taste it. Last week's "Tofruitty Smoothie" was a huge hit! Bonny leaves each child with an activity bag to bring home, which will always contain the recipe we made that week, plus one other. Ask your child about what they learned each session! Children love to cook, and will often try healthier options if they have helped make it!
