From November to January, child- friendly MyPlate's were given to each Preschool, Transitional Kindergarten (TK), and Kindergarten class enrolled in the UC CalFresh Nutrition Education Program to place in their dramatic play area and use in their classrooms. In the dramatic play area there is usually a kitchen set up with plastic foods and items for dress up and dramatization.
Upon revisiting these classrooms, I began to notice that these young students seemed more familiar with MyPlate and were able to recall the food groups and classify foods that belong in those groups. They were also very excited to tell me that they have a plate in their classroom just like mine.
