Description
A healthy eating unit for 1st and 2nd grade: three nonfiction passages with questions, food group sorts, a healthy snack shop with money and a lunch count graph.
Students plan a balanced day, keep a food log, write how to make a snack, and use color posters and a sort center in centers.

WHY TEACHERS LOVE IT
The passages are short and clear, written so 1st and 2nd graders can read them with growing independence.
Students apply what they read: they sort, plan meals and keep a food log, not just answer questions.
Almost every page is black and white and print and go, and the posters and sort center can be laminated and used all year.
