"Students Can Have Their Math and Eat it Too" Giveaway for January 2012
Calling all health-minded students, classrooms, teachers & parents!!!
Students can’t help but learn when they are playing. Students love to eat. Students love to create. Mix a half a cup of creating, a tablespoon of eating and a gallon of learning and you get a nourished and academically successful child.
Veggiecation wants your classroom to have colorful materials to teach students math, social studies, science, literacy and art with vegetables as a vehicle. For FREE. Transform your school’s education into veggie education with Veggiecation.
Schools are already teaching local state standards like persuasive literacy and measurement, right? Why not transform those persuasive literacy lessons into a Vegetable Poster. Students create a poster that will convince a group to love broccoli. Transform a measurement lesson into asparagus as a unit of non-standard measurement. Students measure desks, tables and white boards with asparagus, noting, comparing and ordering the lengths.
Captivate kids' attention with vegetables. Educate and nourish their brain at the same time. Help them prove to themselves and their parents, teachers, friends that they do indeed love vegetables. Eating healthy tastes good. Getting smart is fun!
