At the beginnning of this event our first graders met in the gym and watched a short video about nutrition. We learned about making healthy food choices such as recognizing everyday foods like fruits and veggies and identifying food which should not be eaten everyday like cake and cookies. When the video was over we went to the cafeteria and tasted different fruits and veggies. We ate some of our favorites, and tried some new foods too. We tasted sweet potatoes, cucumbers and cherry tomatoes.  We also tasted kiwis, blueberries and strawberries. We also learned some facts such as the kiwi was originally from China, and now also grows in Australia, and that the kiwi skin can be eaten and is a good source of fiber. All students received a copy of the food guide pyramid along with information to take home to their families about what they tasted.
