UC CalFresh offers monthly tastings for our teachers and students. During this time, students are given the opportunity to try a food that they have never tasted before.
Why not add additional learning opportunities into your next Tasting Time?!
Ms. Alcala and Mrs. Lopez's class took their tastings to the next level by incorporating writing and math skills.
Tell us how you incorporate math and writing skills into your classroom's tastings in the comments below.

Teachers, do you have your Nutrition Corner displayed in the class for the new school year?
This is a great way to reinforce nutrition education in the classroom. Contact your Nutrition Education Specialist for this resource.

This October, Rowell Elementary's cook, Amal Avedian, wore her OrganWise Guys apron in the cafeteria to reinforce nutrition education with students!
Students familiar with the OrganWise Guys were excited to spot the lovable organs and MyPlate pictures as they picked up their lunch. The apron was a great way to reinforce the OrganWise Guys' key messages of eating high fiber foods, drinking low-fat milk and lots of water, and getting plenty of exercise. Thank you for your collaboration, Amal! Together we are building smarter lunchrooms.

The OrganWise Guys and the "Wheel-O-Health" took center stage at Rowell Elementary's back to school night.
Many students gathered around to spin the wheel and participate in a fun physical activity while UCCalFresh coordinators spoke with parents.
The display was a great way to introduce parents to the OrganWise Guys curriculum that will be used in Pre-K through second grade classrooms at Rowell elementary. We look forward to working with families again this school year to improve health and wellness in Fresno County.
Check out the festivities:

We are excited that the OrganWise Guys will make their third appearance this upcoming school year at Olmos and Rowell Elementary Schools!
In addition to our UC curriculum, the OrganWise Guys curriculum teaches children of all ages to care of their body from the inside out by bringing organ characters to life using plush dolls.
At the end of each year, students display the knowledge of each character that they have gained.
We look forward to another great year with the OrganWise Guys!
