Class today was very interesting and engaging. We discussed the topic of health and nutrition. We went on this site which helped students pick out healthy food for breakfast. The site would then calcaulate if we had picked a healthy choice or an unhealthy choice. It showed the calories, fat, grams of fat, grams of carbohydrates, and grams of protein. It was very suprising to see the amount of calories and grams of carbs, fats, and protien in a single serivng of food. What was also interesting was the amount of calories one child was suppose to take in. I thought it was less, but suprisingly enough, for a young girl it was 2200 calories. We also discussed in class, the quiz and what we needed to study for chapters 1 & 2. But overall, today was a fun day to be able to be interactive with the class and do an interesting topic where everyone seemed to be enjoying the day's activity!
