Tean Nutrition Video

Hey everyone, here is our final draft of our concept map!

Nutrition Poster

Evan's poster for our group project.

MOVIE Day!

The time we spent shooting our group video was definitely enjoyable. I think our ideas were creative and we made it a lot of fun. We based our video on the food pyramid and gave a little bit of information about each group. I think that we all worked well together and did a great job!

Movie Day

Today we shot our movie in Stevenson Librar. The time that we spent togeter was a complete blast. This semester we have selected nutrition to be our main focus of our group projects. To make this both a fun and enjoyable we put the fact sheets in books and acted out the parts for each food group. it was fun and I'm glad that we were able to work together so well.

Hey groupies!
I sent you all an email with a copy of the powerpoint. Hope you all have a wonderful and SAFE weekend. See you tuesday! :)

hey guys,

I was just wondering what everyone was doing specifically for each of your projects. Because I don't want to do the same thing as someone else.

Emily

Hey hey everyone!
Glad to see that everything is going well. I just wanted to remind everyone that I am working on the PowerPoint for the group project and I'm so excited about that too! Hope everyone is getting their parts done and are having a good time doing it. If you have any questions just blog me on here or my own page. =] Keep up the great work and go Team Nutrition!

HEY GROUP!

WAY TO GO! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

I just wanted to let the best group ever know that I am going to be working on the poster for our super collaborative project. I if you need any help coming up with ideas or even just need another eye I'm here for you.

Hey group! I'm doing my lesson on menus and how to relate them to the food pyramid! Keep up the good work!! :-)

Lesson Plan Idea

Hey Groupies,

I just wanted to let you know that I will be doing a lesson plan a salad party. Where the main focus will be directed at substituting "sugar treat" parties for a healthier veggies focused party.

Lesson Plan

Hey everyone!
Just wanted to let everyone know that I am doing my lesson on Nutrition/Art Activity which is making the food pyramid out of boxes. Good luck with yours! Also, I believe for the booklet Katlyn and I are dividing the pyramid in half (3 each) and creating our booklets like that. Katlyn let me know if that's OK. Keep up the good work everyone! :)
