Food and Nutrition Presentations
For the 2023-2024 school year we are excited to offer programming for K-6 teachers and students throughout the province. Available this school year are virtual presentations, printable grade specific teacher guides and worksheets.
Teacher guides can be found below and detail presentation outline, curriculum outcomes discussed, and any optional supplementary materials including printable worksheets. NEW for 2023-2024: all grade worksheets and teacher guides are available in both English and French.
Presentations are live and delivered by a registered dietitian via Google Meet. Content is based off Canada’s Food Guide and focuses on all foods and drinks, not just milk! Presentation content has also been reviewed to meet select K-6 grade level Government of NL Department of Education Health Curriculum Guide(s) outcomes related to food and nutrition.
We hope to have presentations returning soon! Stay tuned.
