He’Atid Happenings: Nutrition Day

Yeshivat He’Atid students received a special visit in honor of Nutrition Day. Mrs. Rivki Berman, a registered dietitian and Pediatric Community Health Leader from Clara Maass Medical Center, came to the yeshiva to teach the students all about the importance of healthy eating and how different foods help us in different ways. The children learned that in order to grow up big and strong they need to pick healthy foods to eat. Each lesson began with a story that expressed the importance of a healthy lifestyle. The students learned about the different food groups and how to classify foods: whole grains, dairy, protein, fruits, and vegetables. They studied what a well-balanced plate looks like and learned how healthy foods are actually very delicious.

Mrs. Berman brought lots of fun activities for the children to enjoy. The students also worked with their teachers and made healthy food fun by creating houses out of veggies and whipped cream cheese. The best part of the day, of course, was getting to eat all the delicious healthy foods!
