Second graders learn that some foods are great to eat every day while others are best saved for sometimes, and sort common foods into the two groups so they can make healthy choices.
Students will be able to…
An apple and a candy bar are both foods, but not in the same amount. Which foods are great every day, and which are sometimes treats?
Project this and sort each food into everyday or sometimes — tap a food, then tap where it belongs.
