During the Spring, the second grade curriculum has a unit on MyPlate. 2 schools requested that the FCS agent assist teachers in presenting the unit. The FCS agent taught MyPlate in a total of 8 second grade classrooms 162 students were present for the classes. In the classes, eating a variety of foods was on of the tips for health that was stressed. In the second session, students sampled 5 fruits that they might not have had before. During follow-up questions after the tasting sessions, 100% of students related that they had tried at least one fruit that they had never tasted. The agent and teachers were surprised that 8 students had not tried fresh pineapple and 10 had not tasted blueberries.
