Eat Your Veggies, Teddy

This three week book unit encourages children to eat more vegetables, and thus it relates to nutrition education. It involves language arts skills with rhythm and rhyme, vocabulary, and pattern. Math concepts of number and counting are included. The characters are teddy bears for fun. I took photographs to connect to real experience, and the book could be illustrated by children as well. The lesson plans at the end are listed with Sunshine State Standards, but it can be correlated to benchmarks in all states in the U.S., and be related to all countries’ education plans. Text and photographs created in Word are easily downloaded, stored and saved, and viewed on cd, or printed for each child to have their own book as shared reading.
