New Nutrition Education for Kindergarten Students
USDA Team Nutrition is pleased to announce new and updated Discover MyPlate: Nutrition Education for Kindergarten resources. Schools and parents can now access the fun and inquiry-based MyPlate nutrition education resources designed specifically for kindergarten-aged children. Team Nutrition has expanded the set to include additional foods, Spanish- language components, and fun new resources showing where foods come from.
Kindergarten teachers can use the standards-based lessons to help kids learn about nutrition while also reinforcing math, science, English language arts, and health education content.
School Nutrition Professionals can reinforce key Discover MyPlate messages at school meals.
Parents/caregivers can use these fun readers, activity sheets, and more to help their child learn about food while practicing reading and math skills.
