Where do they come from?

Ideas, Ideas, Ideas!!!!

• We get our ideas from meetings like this. • This idea came from a round table discussion

that Coconino County gave several years ago. • Thank you Coconino County Health Dept!!!

• Bell Institute of Health and Nutrition

• This classroom activity for grades K-5, part of the Go With the Whole Grain for Kids curriculum, guides students through creating a bulletin board collage of whole grain foods, using magazine cutouts, product packages, or images printed from a computer.

Go With The Whole Grain For Kids: Slide Program

• This colorful 16 page slide program is a great way to introduce the topic of whole grains to your students.

• There is a slide program for both younger & older students which can be read by the teacher or students.

• If older students read the story it may take between 15-20 minutes.

Script Included

Why turn this into a DVD?

• The whole grain lessons from General Mills Bell Institute has many things to offer & as we were looking at this we decided not to spend extra time reading the script.

• We also did not like the idea of using the small pictures to show as we read the story.

• And we like making movies.• So it was……..Lights! Camera! Action!

How did we put this together?

• Camera• Computer with movie making capabilities • Need 4-5 people to read the script• Provide a copy of the script to your readers • Print the 16 pages of the slides in color • Patience, we did several takes • Be creative

Let’s watch the movie!

ThankYou!!
