1 MONTHLY NUTRITION-THEMES THAT SUPPORT THE MICHIGAN NUTRITION STANDARDS 4 Team Up Around the School MONTHLY NUTRITION-THEMES THAT SUPPORT THE MICHIGAN NUTRITION STANDARDS Many classrooms and schools have monthly themes that often have a food or health focus. That s great! Integrating nutrition education into the core curriculum and providing students with consistent messages in a variety of venues throughout the school will help make healthy the easy choice for students. Work with your school-based team and fellow staff members to make sure food offered and served as part of these themes meet the Michigan Nutrition Standards. IDEAS FOR MONTHLY THEMES INCLUDE: SEPTEMBER APPLE MONTH: Decorate a cafeteria bulletin board with information about different kinds, and the nutrition value of apples. Serve different kinds of foods made with apples that meet the Nutrition Standards as components of school meals and snacks such as applesauce, apple juice, apple muffins, apple pancakes, apple smoothies, and more. NATIONAL FRUIT & VEGGIES MORE MATTERS MONTH: Serve and promote fruits and vegetables. Visit the More Matters Web site for activity ideas and recipes: www. morematters.org NATIONAL CHILDHOOD OBESITY AWARENESS MONTH: Plan games and activities that will teach children about nutrition and encourage increased physical activity. Teach them about serving size. OCTOBER NATIONAL SCHOOL LUNCH WEEK: Visit the National School Lunch Week website at for information, tools and promotional resources related to the yearly theme. NATIONAL FARM TO SCHOOL MONTH: Start planning for a school garden. Survey students to find out what they would like to grow. Contact your local county Extension office to see if they have someone who can help. NATIONAL POPCORN MONTH: Have a Celebrate Popcorn Day. Prepare different kinds of popcorn made with little or no added salt and offer it to students as a healthy snack. Teach kids to make popcorn without oil, in the microwave in a paper bag. TEACH STUDENTS TO BE SERVING SIZE WISE! Let them see what a proper serving is by comparing everyday objects. This can help prevent them from eating more than they need and help them to maintain a healthy weight. EXAMPLES: 2 1/2 OUNCES MEAT: size/thickness of a deck of cards MEDIUM PIECE OF FRUIT: a tennis ball 1 OUNCE OF CHEESE: 4 stacked dice 1/2 CUP ICE CREAM: tennis ball 1/2 CUP RICE, PASTA, MASHED POTATOES OR BROCCOLI: about the size of a fist 1 TSP PEANUT BUTTER: the tip of your thumb 1 OUNCE OF NUTS: one small handful Michigan Nutrition Standards 73

If not, purchase fresh blueberries and let students taste-test different low-sugar cereals topped with blueberries as a snack. NUTRITIOUS SUMMER SNACKS: Kids need healthy snacks to fuel their growing bodies and to keep them healthy. Together with students, brainstorm a healthy snack list (that meets the Nutrition Standards) and send that snack list home to parents. Be sure to include nutrient-rich foods, like low-fat cheese, yogurt, and low-fat and fat-free milk; fresh, canned and frozen fruits; vegetables, and whole grain foods that can be mixed and matched. WATERMELON MONTH: At the park or during summer programming, conduct a Watermelon Relay. Have kids race, carefully rolling whole watermelons from a start to finish line. After they re done, wash them, then cut them up and eat them. AUGUST FAMILY MEALS MONTH: Encourage students and families to plan, prepare, and eat family meals together. Meal times provide the time to talk about food, nutrition and healthy eating. It s easier for children to make healthy food choices when they know the family s nutrition rules of the road, and they see their parents making healthful choices. Send home or post to the school or summer program web site quick to fix, healthy balanced meals. NATIONAL FARMERS MARKET WEEK: Encourage shopping for fresh produce at local markets. Serve locally grown fruits and vegetables. Teach kids about where their food comes from and let them sample fruits and vegetables they may have never tried before. SANDWICH MONTH: Teach students to build a healthy sandwich based on the Michigan Nutrition Standards. Include whole grain bread, a lean protein and fruit and or a vegetable or two. Taste-test different kinds of whole grain breads including whole grain pitas, flat bread, tortillas, and bagels.
