Food, Culture and Reading Calendar

This program uses literature to teach 1st and 2nd graders about food, nutrition, healthy lifestyles, and different cultures. Through a wide variety of experiential activities, students will be able to recognize a variety of healthful foods within each MyPyramid food group, taste new foods from other cultures, explore the similarities of foods, and develop an understanding and appreciation of cultures that are different from their own.

The Food, Culture and Reading section has 6 units with 5 activities plus a take-home activity within each unit. Units include United States , Mexico , Kenya , Russia , Greece , and Japan . Activity topics are reading, nutrition, cooking, culture, and physical activity.
