Nutrition Week

Recipes from Home
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Our class is talking about nutrition. We will be talking about favorite snacks. Please help your child complete the "My Favorite Snack" page by filling in a healthful snack recipe. Try to find a simple recipe that your child could make alone or with just a little help. Discuss with your child which recipes are more healthful. We have used the Food Guide Pyramid to learn that our bodies need more of the foods from the food groups at the bottom of the Pyramid: bread, cereal, rice and pasta; fruits and vegetables. We will use the snack recipes to make a class recipe book for every child to take home. We will also have a tasting party, for which we will ask families to send a snack to share. One or two recipes that lend themselves to ease of preparation in the classroom and provide ample opportunity for class participation will be chosen for the class to prepare. Thank you for your assistance with this project. Please return the attached permission slip. Mark whether you will be available to help with our tasting party and indicate whether your child has any food allergies.
Sincerely,
Miss Kate Rennie
