Students Make Healthy Food Choices Based on the Nutrition Facts Label

Jan 7, 2015

The decision to make a healthy food choices lies in knowledge; specifically, the knowledge of what is in the food consumed, and how it can benefit or harm the body.

Students in Mrs. Gamez's fourth grade class at Huron Elementary recently gained knowledge about the foods they eat. Students brought food items from home and then critiqued them. Students learned how to read the nutrition facts label, and based their critique on the information found on the label. 

We are excited for all the healthy changes at Huron Elementary!


Great job Mrs. Gamez's 4th grade class, keep up the great work!
