Health lesson: As a part of the research
about healthy food, students went to a restaurant where had the opportunity to
have lunch and discover how nature provides healthy food that gives us the
necessary nutrients, to grow up, prevent diseases and have a healthy lifestyle.
It was a challenge for all the children, because the menu had mostly of
vegetables which many of them had never tasted it before, but took the risk to
taste to discover new flavors, textures and colors of food. This place also
taught us how to have a life of integrity and the importance of organic food
for our body. Meanwhile, in the classroom we keep on searching on how to
maintain a healthy body and healthy mind, being active, making reflections
about the effects of poor nutrition and the importance of having a healthy
life.
