Incorporate nutrition education into language arts studies to provide students with additional opportunities to practice their writing.
This example comes from Lowell Elementary:
Each month, teachers enrolled in the UC CalFresh Nutrition Education Program are provided with a healthy food for students to taste test.
Following the tasting, ask students to write about their experience. Did they enjoy the food? Can they describe the texture, shape, smell and flavor of the food?
If you have any examples of writing prompts you've used in your classroom, we'd love to hear about them! Please comment below to share your best practices.
