This week at the Bethel Headstart, we read “The Very Hungry Caterpillar” by Eric Carle. As a class we talked about all the foods the hungry caterpillar ate, before he became a beautiful butterfly! We also talked about what food groups the food belonged in. The caterpillar ate quite a bit, but he was still hungry!
After talking about what foods the caterpillar ate, we created our own Caterpillar! Our Caterpillar was made to help us remember the 5 food groups from MyPlate; Fruit, Vegetables, Grains, Proteins and Dairy!
Being healthy is a journey and our food and beverage choices really do matter! MyPlate is a tool that helps us to have a healthy eating lifestyle, that will help us throughout our lives. For more information on MyPlate, check out the website, www.choosemyplate.gov.
