Lessons: Nutrition

I'm trying to turn my schedule into a routine.  On Mondays we exercise then have time for a group activity, so I'm thinking that we can have a nutrition lesson each Monday or prepare for cooking on Wednesday (if it is our turn to cook that week).  Doing some research, I came up with some great websites that have information on nutrition:

www.mealsmatter.org --> Good for recipes for cooking for kids - adults.  Includes information on nutrition label, etc.  Also print off the nutritional pyramid and tips to stay healthy!

www.foodafactoflife.org.uk --> UK based website, but has videos on how to cook including cutting tomatoes, grating, etc.  Great for students that require a visual (especially students with ASD).

www.nourishinteractive.com --> Includes interactive computer games and activities for students, parents, and educators.  Make sure you have computers available for your students if you choose to use this website.  Great for structured computer time and very kid-friendly!

Let me know what you think about these sites!
