What concepts can I teach with the MyPyramid?
As a general guideline, teach primary children: • The names of MyPyramid’s Five Food Groups • The foods in each group • A health benefit for each food group • How to plan a nutritious meal Teach the same concepts at the upper elementary level, but add: • Key nutrients for each food group • Recommended amount from each group • Combination Foods Dairy Council’s® Little D’s Nutrition Expedition® and Arianna’s Nutrition Expedition™ for 2nd and 4th grades support MyPyramid and teach these concepts.
