this has absolutely nothing to do with this post :) BUT i need any help you get can give me with a research paper. i'm researching how school lunches effect kids. i've found a couple of schools that switched to a new company for food that was slightly more expensive but completely changed academic performance for the better. there was less truency and less fighting. i've been looking at websites and i haven't really found much on the biological part of healthy food effecting your brain. i remember you talking about exercise sparking your brain...i'm looking for that except with food instead. thanks.

I have some excellent resources for you! I subscribe to a magazine called kiwi...I bet they have a bunch of articles online about the topic....they cover this issue a lot! You know, I'm very interested in this topic too! In rural Wisconsin, we are ideally situated to infuse organic meals into our lunch programs. There is actually a lot of research demonstrating the academic and psychological benefits of improving school lunch programs. I'll bring my magazines to school tomorrow.

Many of these programs involve kids...Consumer Ed programs, Ag programs, Environmental Science programs, etc. Students actually raise most of their own produce and it's used in the school lunch program.

I'm so glad you are doing something on this topic! I'll talk to you tomorrow about it in greater detail.

I should have stated that there are academic, physical and psychological benefits for STUDENTS when they eat healthier school meals...I think it was clear from my post...just wanted to make sure you understand what I was saying!

Also, many of the schools with these programs claim the food is actually CHEAPER that the typical food served.

Examples of Map Legends and Map Symbols (Plus Creative Tips and Project Ideas!)

Creative tips and projects for teaching students about legends (keys) on a map: 1. Create a scavenger hunt: Give students a map with a key and have them find different landmarks or features on the map. For example, you might ask them to find a park, a school, and a river. This is a fun way to get students engaged with maps and help them learn how to read legends. 2. Make your own map: Have students create their own maps of their school or neighborhood. They can include symbols for different features like buildings, parks, and roads. This is a great way to get students thinking about the different elements that go into making a map. 3. Use technology: There are many online tools that allow you to create custom maps with your own symbols and legends. Have students use these tools to create their own maps of their community or a fictional place. 4. Create a legend matching game: Create cards with different symbols from a map legend and have students match them to the correct definition. T...

Ripped Paper World Map Project - Middle or High School Geography

Earlier this week I presented my students with a challenge. Create a world map using construction paper, glue, and a sharpie. No scissors.  Students were not allowed to use any tools to cut out their continents. They had to tear their continents from construction paper. After their continents were ready, students were asked to label them and then glue them in place.  Each student's map needed a title, compass rose, key, symbols, Equator, and Prime Meridian, and all the continents and oceans had to be labeled. Most of my students had a blast creating their maps. Of course, a couple students were anxious; worried their continents wouldn't look nice. With some reassuring, they proceeded and did just fine.  This activity is a perfect back-to-school or sub-day activity. It required very little prep and materials. I let my students use any color construction paper they wanted as long as they selected two different colors.  The results were fantastic! Grab your copy of the ...
