Super Power Foods!

Today we had a very special guest come visit our classroom to reinforce our Healthy Habits investigation. Jess Lepage has volunteered her time before to share with us knowledge about her field of expertise. Today, she came to share about healthy habits specific to nutrition. The foods she focused on due to their special benefits to our body included: broccoli, carrots, apples, bananas, meat and milk. In the pictures bellow you can read more about the benefits of these foods to our overall health. Thanks Jess!
