Welcome back to school! Make nutrition learning FUN and MEANINGFUL this year with Arianna's Nutrition Expedition™ classroom program. It teaches children the importance of healthy eating and helps you meet your Wellness Policy nutrition education goals.
Key Wellness Policy Nutrition Education Themes
A recent survey found almost 86 percent of the nation's 100 largest school districts' wellness policies require nutrition education at some grade level and all have several common themes. Use Arianna's Nutrition Expedition™ to tie into three of these themes and support the knowledge and behavior that kids need to get on the path to healthy eating!
Support Nutrition and Health Education Requirements
All of the program objectives and activity outcomes for this eight-lesson, hands-on program, contribute to four broad Health and Nutrition Standards and support USDA's MyPyramid.
Integrate Nutrition Education into Core Curriculum
Each story-based activity, such as "Arianna in Antarctica" supports your language arts program. Nutrition Mixer™ and other interactive games reinforce other areas of your curriculum.
Provide Nutrition Education to the Parents
Home Connections involve parents from the start with an Introductory Letter, Smart Snacking Ideas, and an Eat the Five Food Group Way!® chart. At home, children can challenge their parents to the program's interactive games, like Food Force One™ in Kids at www.NutritionExplorations.org.
