This PDF lesson plan found on the Choose My Plate website provides great resources for teachers planning lessons on nutrition for first or second graders. These lesson plans are created by My Plate and the USDA to line up with the standards and be integrated into other lessons. The lessons include fun games, worksheets, and even fun songs on the food groups. This website was by far the most useful website for teachers because it provided the teacher with information and activities rather than only supplying information. It also helped provide ways to integrate nutrition into other health areas and had songs and worksheets to go with activities.
