Kindergarten Invades HEB

Last week, the kindergarten students were asked the question “What is a healthy meal?”  They spent the week learning about nutrition and what food groups are needed to help you grow strong.  For part of their research, they were able to visit a local H-E-B grocery store.  

At the store, they took a tour of the different departments to find foods in each important food group. They were able to sample some healthy foods as well. 

The students learned other healthy habits such as dental care and hygiene. One group got to see a 17 pound lobster! 

At the end of the week, the students applied their knowledge to create a picture of a healthy meal using construction paper. They then reported their findings to their class.  This project based learning experience was funded through the Katy ISD Education Foundation Inspiring Imagination Grant the Kindergarten Team was awarded in May of 2014.
