Family Nutrition Program Booklet for Teachers
The Ford-Iroquois Extension Unit is pleased to offer the Family Nutrition Program as a resource to area teachers. Areas of emphasis include; nutrition, food safety, and money management. All lessons and material are provided free of charge!
Please take a few moments and look through this program to discover lessons that fit into your curriculum or theme for your classroom. We encourage you to share this information with other interested co-workers as well.
A variety of programs are available with topics ranging from healthy hand washing to "My Pyramid". Most programs offer a nutritious snack tasting time. If you would like a lesson on a particular topic not mentioned, please contact us to see if a program can be made to suit your needs.
These programs are best suited for a small group setting, so plan to schedule one class at a time. Each lesson lasts approximently 45 minutes and includes handouts for the students, the parents and at times, follow up activities for the teachers use.
Feel free to set up lessons on a monthly basis or book us for the year. Please contact us at the Ford-Iroquois Extension office at 815-268-4051 to schedule a program in your classroom. You may also contact us directly at our e-mail address.
