This past week we talked about the five food groups: fruits, vegetables, dairy, proteins, and grains. We learned about MyPlate which is a healthy guide that shows how much to eat from each food group every day. As a group the children created a food group pyramid and listed a variety of foods in each group. We also talked about how being active plays a big part of being healthy. They learned that kids should get at least one hour of exercise daily and eat healthy foods, and of the people with skin problems they can find deep scar removal home remedies online.
