3 Inservice Credits/ 45 Hours Instructor: L. Squires, July 15-August 15

Have you taken a look recently at your students snacks or lunches? These are great times to have discussions with them about healthy choices. If they eat better they will be focused in your class and have more energy to learn. In this course you will explore starting a classroom garden, using a classroom compost as an incentive to get students to bring in items for snacks that they can contribute to the compost. You will also learn about whether or not a snack is truly healthy or not. Packaging can be extremely deceiving these days. You will also explore sites and create activities to enhance your curriculum.
