It is called Spinach-Orange Salad.It has spinach, orange pieces and beets. I hope that you will be brave and have a new eating adventure with me. If you are willing to try this food, I can give you a sticker to wear that says, “I Tried It” – so let’s have our adventure.Before we have our food adventure, what do we need to do? (Wash hands). Have students wash hands while tasting is being prepared.While students wait to wash hands, have them work on the MyPlate Maze (USDA Team Nutrition - ) and Get To Know Your Farmer Word Search.Distribute tasting. Be sure to seek their food reaction – try to refrain from asking if they like it or not and instead, explore the tastes and colors of the different foods and how they feel in their mouth. Talk about how the foods grow. Have they seen any of them at the farmer’s market? Do they grow them in their garden at home?NOTE TO EDUCATORPrepare all the salad ingredients ahead of time in separate bags or containers. Mix the salad dressing in a jar and chill the day before. Show the students how easy it is to combine the fruit and veggies and toss with the dressing.Avoid using pickled beets, use plain canned beets. The vinegar in the pickled beets is too strong for young taste buds.CLOSING3 minutesMaterials Needed: Parent Newsletter Leave with Classroom Teacher: Writing Prompt and worksheets if not used in class.-4070352820035Read for Health – Grade 2Lesson OutlineEating Fruits & Vegetables400Read for Health – Grade 2Lesson OutlineEating Fruits & Vegetables4Conclude the lesson with:“Now I have a newsletter for you to take home to your parents.

It’s best to purchase the canned beets sliced so you can easily julienne and place in container with tight-fitting lid. You can lightly chop spinach for smaller bites or purchase baby spinach.If serving, make the dressing and place in a container you can easily drizzle onto the salad.Classroom directions for snack preparationOPTION 1Teacher assistance is welcome to assemble salad. For easy assembly, have plates already spread out on the table/counter. Make sure to add a plate for yourself (and the teacher if they want) so you can eat right along with the students. The teacher is always a good role model for the students.Place a small portion of spinach (4-5 leaves) on each plate.Place 2 julienned beets on top of spinachPlace 2 mandarin orange slices on top of spinach and beets.-266700167005Read for Health – Grade 2Lesson OutlineEating Fruits & Vegetables500Read for Health – Grade 2Lesson OutlineEating Fruits & Vegetables5At this point you can drizzle on a bit of dressing or you can serve without. Serving without the dressing allows the students to be able to get an honest taste the ingredients. OPTION 2Preparation Before ClassPut spinach, julienned beets (purchase canned beets and julienne the beets) and drained mandarin oranges in three different containers. Place the containers and serving tongs in a cooler for transport.Classroom Directions for Snack PreparationRemind students that they will need to wash their hands. The educator or teacher calls each student or group to the table to put their snack together. When the students arrive at the table hand them each a clear plastic baggie. They will open the plastic baggie and use the serving tongs to place 3-4 spinach leaves, 2 julienned beets and 2 segments of mandarin oranges. The student may need help with keeping the bag opened or using the tongs to pick up the ingredients – be prepared to help them if need be. When students are finished assembling their snack, they can take the baggie and a fork back to their table/desk and wait until everybody is served. EDUCATOR TIP: Let teacher know that you will need some help with getting the snack served. Asking them to call students to wash their hands will help you work with the group who are assembling their salad.As a class, try each ingredient separately, starting with the spinach, then the beet and finally the orange. Then try a bite with all the ingredients. Students may be apprehensive to try the beet, so encourage even just a small bite. They might be surprised!When students are trying the ingredients ask the following questions:What does the food taste like? Mild, sweet, bland, salty, nutty, How does it feel in your mouth? Smooth, soft, chewy, mushyDo you like eating the ingredients separately or all together? Sometimes we may not like a certain food by itself, but when we pair it with other foods, it may take on a whole different flavor. You can give a personal example. Thank them for being brave and trying the salad. If the student took a bite of all three ingredients, give them an “I Tried It!” sticker.-476252238375Read for Health – Grade 2Lesson OutlineEating Fruits & Vegetables600Read for Health – Grade 2Lesson OutlineEating Fruits & Vegetables6-2381255309870Read for Health – Grade 2Lesson OutlineEating Fruits & Vegetables700Read for Health – Grade 2Lesson OutlineEating Fruits & Vegetables7 ................
