Trying to find a way to begin Nutrition Month in March? Look no further. Students write/draw an alternate ending for the story in ELA . Students research what other people in different countries eat, then (with a lot of supervision) cook or bake the items and enjoy them. Make sure it’s part of a balanced diet! As a class, discuss taking credit for something you didn’t do.
