Fishcreek Elementary Students Learn About Nutrition



The AT&T Classroom stared the spring semester hosting two third grade classes from Fishcreek Elementary, Stow-Munroe Falls City Schools. Mrs. Miller an Mrs. Harris's unit focused on the students' investigation of nutrition and the digestive and skeletal body systems. The students begin their study with a complete overview of proper nutrition. Throughout the unit, students recorded their daily intake of foods on their handheld computers. The students then transferred this information to the website mypyramid.gov. This website creates a graphical display comparing the student's actual intake of nutrients to the ideal diet plan for a child of their age and size.
