Ballard County has had 45 youth involved in afterschool nutrition education classes through the 21st Century Afterschool Program. We have had fifteen K-1, fifteen 2-3 and fifteen 4-5 graders. They rotate through the class every three weeks. We have focused on where our food comes from, food groups, serving sizes and they applying what they have learned by each of them making a MyPlate of their own and then a menu for a day of their own. Each lesson also includes physical activity. We used, or adapted, lessons from Professor Popcorn. We have varied the lessons to be an age appropriate lesson to teach these topics. They youth excel at identifying foods and whether they come from plants or animals. They are proficient at identifying foods and the appropriate food group.
