At Balderas Elementary Mr. McEndree's 6th grade class was charged with the task of taking notes during our Nutrition Fact Label lessoN. Students were asked to summarize what they learned from the lesson. Each student was given a nutrition fact label to review with Mrs. Z (that's me). They looked like this:
We then reviewed 5 points of the label - calories, total fat, fiber, protein and vitamins and minerals. We spent most of our time discussing calories, specifically: what are they? why do we care? and what do they do for us.
The overall goal was helping this 6th grade class to understand the importance of reading the label of what they eat.
Here are are a few of the summary sheets of what these 6th graders learned from the lesson. 
I think they learned a lot! Thank you Mr. McEndree for getting your class engaged in the Nutrition Facts lesson!

The decision to make a healthy food choices lies in knowledge; specifically, the knowledge of what is in the food consumed, and how it can benefit or harm the body.
Students in Mrs. Gamez's fourth grade class at Huron Elementary recently gained knowledge about the foods they eat. Students brought food items from home and then critiqued them. Students learned how to read the nutrition facts label, and based their critique on the information found on the label.
We are excited for all the healthy changes at Huron Elementary!
Great job Mrs. Gamez's 4th grade class, keep up the great work!
