4-H - Color Me Healthy
|
Lauren is currently presenting this program at the Elementary School on Wednesday.
|
Color Me Healthy for SNAP-Ed serves preschoolers and kindergarteners across North Carolina in schools, Head Start, and Child Care Centers.
Color Me Healthy is a nutrition and physical activity program for children ages four and five. It is designed to stimulate all the senses of young children: touch, smell, sight, sound, and of course, taste. It uses color, music, and exploration of the senses to teach children that healthy eating and physical activity are fun.
Color Me Healthy for SNAP-Ed is comprised of nine
lessons chosen from the Color Me Healthy curriculum. Taste tests have been added to coincide with each lesson in order to enhance the multi-sensory learning experience. Parent handouts were enriched to contain nutrition tips, family physical activity suggestions, reading book recommendations, and grocery store adventures. All participants are awarded a certificate of participation at the completion of the program. Evaluation of the program is conducted via parent and teacher feedback forms.
The Color Me Healthy for SNAP-Ed program was developed by Carolyn Dunn, Ph.D., Cathy Thomas, MA.Ed, and Laural Kelly, MS.

Food Safety
|
Food safety can be a life or death issue, that's where barfblog comes in.
barfblog.com
is a website in which Drs. Powell, Chapman, Hubbell and assorted food safety friends offer evidence-based opinions on current food safety issues. Opinions must be evidence-based - with references - reliable and relevant. The barfblog authors edit each other, often viciously.
Check out Dr. Ben Chapman on a recent episode of
The Doctors discussing the top dirty foods to avoid.
