OK. So you and the kids have read this book so many times. WHAT NOW?
As promised, we are here to document literature-based instruction lesson plans… with the high hopes of a more progressive classroom (Or need I say, homeschool). *wink*
FIRST, we are dealing with 21st Century kids so there’s got to be…
- PURPOSE,
- respect for the child’s intrinsic need for AUTONOMY; and
- hope for PROGRESS.
Purpose: For children to be aware of healthy eating
Autonomy: For children to be mindful of their everyday food choices
Progress: For children to monitor self-progress by creating a food diary
As you can see, I have underlined for children to remind us that this plan is not for anyone who would like to do some kind of monologue that students have to spend time watching… Nuff said…

The child plots the foods he/she will eat the following week. Answers will then be shared in class and the child will be asked how those food(s) made him/her feel.
NOTE: They can draw if they are not yet familiar with writing the alphabets.
