Mia wakes up at 7 am just like any other school day, It is time to start her with a healthy breakfast. She remembers her teacher Ms. Mesha saying that in order to feed your brain you have to feed your stomach first.

Eating breakfast regularly can result in less snacking, and a healthier diet. Eating breakfast regularly keeps children focused on learning rather than the next meal(Eck et al., 2019).

Today Mia's mom prepared her blueberry pancakes with a cup of orange juice. Mia can not wait to see what her mom packed for lunch.

At school Ms. Mesha asks did everyone eat a healthy breakfast. The whole class responds with a yes or a head nod. She then continues to teach her unit on Nutritious Eating.

Ms. Mesha takes the children out to their school garden. Mia is so excited to learn how healthy food is grown. Ms. Mesha picks some vegetables from the school garden for a big surprise later.

Hands-on learning allows for more memorable experiences for children. A school garden that students help take care of ensures that nutrition lessons are consistent(Shafer.2018).

Inside, Ms. Mesha tells the students that they can line up at the water fountain to get water. She explains to the students that staying hydrated is very important.

It is now time for whole group time, and Mia can not wait to find out the surprise! Ms. Mesha gathers the veggies and washes, and prepares them. She then announces to the class that they will be making vegetable soup, and they will all get a chance to taste the vegetables from the garden.
