Outcome: Initial Outcome
Bullitt 4-H offered healthy eating lessons for 16 elementary school classes. Our objective for the program was to stress the importance of healthy foods. We did this by creating Healthy journals for the students to fill out during the month. We had the students read the book Eating the Alphabet out loud to the class. The students were asked to name some healthy foods. Some of their answers were: salad, grapes, yogurt, ice cream, pizza, burgers, and pretzels. Students were also given a chart and had to put different types of food into the appropriate category. Students were asked to raise their hands if they thought fruits and vegetables were good for them and on average 15% of the class would raise their hand. Students were then asked to raise their hands if they thought fruits and vegetables were bad for them and on average 75% of the classroom would raise their hands. Students mentioned after we read the book that we shouldn’t eat a lot of junk food and eat more fruits and vegetables because it makes you feel better. Students were put into groups of 6 and were given more food items to sort on their activity sheets. 95% of the students were able to put the food items in the correct food groups. We made a healthy snack mix and students wrote down the recipe to take home to share with their families.
