A Teaching Tip of the Week - Plan The Menu
  By: Jacky Sreans, Elementary Teacher

"In our school we have a really dedicated cafeteria staff. Last year, they challenge the teachers of our building to use their resources as much as possible for student benefit. With the help of my principal, I was able to include a great culminating activity for my Nutrition Unit. My class researches and plans an entire week of school menu.

After we learn about a balanced diet, we visit the cafeteria and learn about what foods they have available or can order. We plan the menu about four weeks prior to the serving week. The menu must be balanced and overall healthy. Students get really involved and are very creative with the menu. We submit the menu for approval to the principal and the head of food services. Upon approval, they order the items and we serve the school.

This year we included our hygiene unit and actual served the school for one lunch period. I would highly recommend this activity to all teachers that have the resources to do such an activity."
