Nutrition in Me!
Nutrition
in Me! is a 6-week series of 45-60 minute classroom sessions.
This series teaches students healthy lifestyle choices. Students
gain knowledge and skills to promote and protect health through
fun, hands-on activity and exciting visual aides. By the end
of the series students will be able to:
- Give examples of the relationship between nutrients in food
and health.
- Demonstrate proper handwashing to prevent foodborne illness.
- Set goals for healthy eating and being more physically active.
All lessons integrate health, fitness, math, science, language arts and other EALRs and are taught by a WSU-trained Nutrition Educator or Dietitian.

Note to Washington State Nutrition Educators: Level 1 of Nutrition In Me! was developed from the original Jr. Chef Level 1. It is designed for classrooms in which student cooking is impractical. The hands-on nutrition learning activities replace the student cooking portion of Jr. Chef; otherwise the curricula are very similar. Level 2 of Nutrition in Me! does not follow Level 2 of Jr. Chef.
