Teacher Resources
The goal of the "Harvest of the Month" program is to increase enjoyment and consumption of fruits and vegetables. Students have the opportunity to taste and explore a different featured fruit or vegetable each month. This in-classroom taste-testing gives students the chance to try healthy foods, and learn about them at the same time.
This monthly newsletter links to curricular areas such as mathematics, science, health, history, English/language arts and physical education. The educator newsletter provides key information about the featured produce as well as resources to further explore each fruit and vegetable. It incorporates hands-on activities, tools and ideas for open-ended exploration by students and sample physical activities that support developmental skills such as listening, reflexes and hand-eye coordination. Although mainly designed for use by educators in the classroom, the newsletter is also a great tool to make available to child nutrition staff, librarians, nurses and others who might aid in the successful implementation of Harvest of the Month.
