Nutrition Curriculum for Third Grade

Shaping Up My Choices

 

 

This 10-lesson nutrition curriculum aligns with California education standards and can easily integrate into your units on Language Arts, Math, Science, Social Studies, Health and Physical Education. The lessons were created using a behavior-change model that encourages healthy-eating behaviors and attitudes in your students.

These lesson plans have been designed with fun and learning in mind to blend well with your usual instructional sequence. The curriculum is skills-based to help students apply problem-solving, reasoning and critical-thinking techniques.

Shaping Up My Choices teaches third grade students about:

  • All five food groups, their main nutrients and roles in the body
  • The importance of eating balanced breakfast and lunch
  • How to read a food label
  • How to measure healthy portion sizes
  • What healthy beverage choices look like
  • How to get active for 60 minutes a day

This nutrition curriculum is free for California third grade teachers!

My student's love Thursdays because they get to learn about nutrition, exercise and eating right. We don't have scheduled science or health, so this program fits in perfectly.

It was fun and easy to use. This year I will use it earlier in the school year so I can remind the kids all year about good choices and what they have learned.

My students and I both love this program. They get so excited when it's time to do a new lesson. I have even noticed healthier choices being made at lunch (we have a salad bar). They're getting it!
