GRADE LEVEL/SUBJECT:  1st        Nutrition

OVERVIEW:
 The students have been studying Nutrition. We have studied the four
food groups.  This particular activity was designed to help the
students plan a well balanced snack around St. Patrick's Day.  This
means nearly everything they eat has to be green.

PURPOSE:
This lesson helps the students plan and prepare a nutritious snack,
that is green.

OBJECTIVES:
1.  Discuss each of the four food groups. Draw and label all food that
is green under each food group.

2.  Students will come up with a St., Patrick's Day Snack, with all
four food groups.

3.  Students will help teacher prepare the snack.

4.  Eat the St. Participles Day Snack.

RESOURCES/MATERIALS:
Food; Broccoli, green apples, luncheon meat
Dip ingredients
Bread Maker and ingredients for making bread
Knife for cutting
Milkshake ingredients and mixer
Paper plates and napkins

ACTIVITIES AND PROCEDURES:
1.  Draw and label all four food groups with foods that are green.

2.  Write a green snack menu for the class.

3.  Make green bread with the teacher's bread machine.

4.  Clean and cut green apples and broccoli.

5.  Make green sour cream dip for broccoli.

6.  Make green milkshakes.

TYING IT ALL TOGETHER:
The students will enjoy eating the green bread that they watched
mixing and baking all day. Eating green meat did not sound very good,
so we decided to use ham with their green bread too make a
sandwich.  The students enjoyed dipping broccoli in the green dip.
The green apples and the green milkshake added to the St. Patrick's
Day snack.  To complete the St. Patrick's Day snack we used St.
Patrick's Day paper goods.
