Abstract

Nutrition education is not often included in the elementary school curriculum. Without learning about nutrition, students may make poor nutritional choices and develop unhealthy eating habits, which may affect physical health, cognitive development, and academic performance. By informing students about healthy eating habits, they can improve their nutritional intake, well-being, and academic success. To address this issue, I will create a three-day lesson on nutrition education for first graders at Elkhorn Elementary School in Castroville, California.
