Tools for this Unit:

Navajos, Diabetes & Exercising (Week Three)

Activity 1

A special guest will be visiting my students, the local Special Diabetes educator. After reading the book, The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle, s/he will engage students in exercise using music and the book as an assistant. She will also prepare a simple food recipe such as a fruit smoothie with the students.

Activity 2

As part of the conclusion of the unit, my scholars will take a field trip to tour the local grocery store to learn hands on how the fruits and vegetables end up on the store shelves. They will then be able to choose a couple of fruits and vegetables that they will purchase and take home to share with their family at home. At home, they can share what they have been learning and encourage their family to eat heathy fruits and vegetables.
