This document provides details on a nutrition education lesson plan for a kindergarten class focusing on fruits and vegetables. It includes information on the 24 students, key concepts to be taught, background on food allergies, and a detailed outline of the lesson. The lesson plan aims to teach students the differences and similarities between fruits and vegetables and the health benefits of these foods. Activities include a bingo game, reading, and making applesauce. Literature related to garden-based nutrition education and its effects on fruit/vegetable consumption is also summarized.
I provided background information and research on child nutrition, and I related it to child development theories and application to research, teaching, and working with children. This research paper encompasses human growth and development by sharing how a child's ecological system impacts their wellbeing, such as food programs, school, or family.

Studies show children are more likely to eat vegetables grown at homeOlivia_Hanson
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that children have vegetables in every meal and snack. Unfortunately, American children are particularly averse to eating vegetables. In fact, a study on the eating preferences of 2,359 toddlers reveals that 20 percent of children 12 to 23 months old has no reported vegetable consumption at all.

Explore ways to inspire youth to care about how choices influence their health, that of the planet, and the lives of everyone working with food from farm to plate. We’ll also review how to empower students to create practical action plans to successfully make real changes in their day-to-day food choices.

Nutritional Status of School Age Children in Private Elementary Schools: Basi...IJAEMSJORNAL
Department of Education (DepEd) organizes nutritional programs to improve the health status of children in public schools. Likewise, the researcher believes that health awareness must be raised in private schools as well. This study aimed to affect the community to be aware and more knowledgeable about nutrition. Specifically, this study focused on the nutritional status of school age children in private elementary schools in Santa Rosa, Nueva Ecija. It sought to determine the profile of the learners, anthropometrics, clinical data and the knowledge of the learners as to dietary and the significant relationship between the profile of the learners and the nutritional status of the school aged children. With all the data gathered a meal management program was proposed. The study employed the quantitative description design. The study manifests that majority of the respondents were not yet aware of what they eat. In addition, age, greatly affects the respondent’s anthropometrics as to height. More so, age, number of siblings and family income, greatly affect the respondents’ anthropometrics as to weight. The researcher adopted the Nutritional Guidelines for Filipino program that was developed by the DOST- FNRI.

Students were expected to formulate a lesson plan in Nutrition Education. Our populated served elementary students. This was the flow of our lecture. We integrated easy and fun ways for children to grasp the concepts.
This report describes the research project I conducted to determine if a survey would provide data that could be used to increase the average daily participation rate of the breakfast program. Results: The survey yielded valuable data about students’ breakfast consumption patterns, food preferences and the correlation between nutrition knowledge, behavior and motivation.

12. Literature Review Improving Nutrition & Physical Activity in Child Care: What Parents Recommend A large percentage of children are spending time in out-of-home child care centers, which makes these centers a target for nutritional and physical activity education. In 2006, 20 surveys were mailed to 94 child-care center directors to send to parents of the children in their care. Questions were based on meals, snacks, and physical activity at that specific child-care center. Overall, parents rated meals and snacks as “good”, with very few categorizing meals and snacks as “poor”. Physical Activity was rated most as “excellent” and “good” with very few ratings of “poor”. Suggestions for improving snacks and meals were mostly themed on including more fruits and vegetables and providing a greater variety of food. Suggestions for physical activity included “more structure and instructor-led activities such as stretching, dancing, and physical challenges.” Source: J Am Diet Assoc. 2008; 108: 1907-1909
13. Literature Review The 5 A Day Virtual Classroom: An Online Strategy to Promote Healthful Eating Internet-based program that encouraged children to make their own policies on healthy eating. Questions like “If you were President Clinton, how would you get kids across the country to eat 5 A Day?” were asked to get feedback and ideas from children. 2,600 children responded saying “rewarding children for eating fruits and vegetables will want them to eat more” A large amount of children said celebrities would have a large affect on promoting healthy eating.

14. Literature Review Garden-Based Nutrition Education Affects Fruit and Vegetable Consumption in Sixth-Grade Adolescents The concept of this study was to determine if garden-based activities influences adolescents’ fruits and vegetable consumption. 122 6th grade students in southern Idaho participated in the study. One group participated in classroom activities from a nutrition program workbook. Another group worked on garden-based activities, such as weeding, watering, and harvesting. Results showed that participants of the garden-based activities ate more fruits and vegetables than before the start of the program. Source: J Am Diet Assoc. JADA. 2007; 107: 662-665
15. Literature Review Black Children with High Preferences for Fruits and Vegetables are at Less Risk of Being at Risk of Overweight or Overweight The concept of this study was to determine the relationship between children’s preferences for fruits and vegetables and their weight status. Fourth and fifth grade children participated in a 2 year intervention program called Smart Bodies. Which Increased nutrition knowledge and willingness to consume fruits and vegetables. All the children took surveys about fruits and vegetables they like, and fruits and vegetables they are familiar with. Researchers found that children with lower preferences for fruits and vegetables are at greater risk of being overweight Source: J Am Diet Assoc. 2008; 108: 1912-1915
