The first two weeks of October I was at the Department of Education- Office of Healthy Schools. This rotation was awesome. Everyone was super excited to have us there, our preceptor got there an hour early to prepare for us!
At this rotation we get to work on lesson plans for all grades (K-12) in order to integrate nutrition into the class rooms. We're also working on integrating physical education and health education concepts into our lesson plans. We created 7 lesson plans total!
We had a few projects on the side to complete, we were asked to make a brief nutrition education tip of the month for the 'on hold' recording for DOE. Another project we worked was to make a Myplate puzzle.
While at this rotation, the staff came to check on us to see how we were doing and see if we needed anything. This really made us feel welcome. Our preceptor was impressed with how much work we were able to finish. She emailed our director to thank her for having us intern there. The email was then forwarded to another staff member at Dept. of Ag. It's great to be recognized for our hard work!
Our lesson plans are posted on the FDACS website: http://www.freshforfloridakids.com/Sponsors/Programs/DieteticInternshipProgram/NutritionEducationLessonPlansandMaterials.aspx
