Literature Links For Nutrition And Health

"Literature Links for Nutrition and Health" is the first health education teaching manual to show training and in-service elementary school teachers (grades 1-3) how to teach about food and nutrition using the children's picture books they already have in their classrooms. This integrated curriculum teaches several health-related concepts such as moderation, variety, and serving sizes while also teaching colors, shapes, numbers, manners, and time. The 31 lessons, each centering on a specific children's book, make connections across the curriculum from the two featured disciplines, health education and language arts, to six other academic subjects: science, social studies, math, physical education, art, and music. For pre-K -3 classroom teachers and health education instructors.
