For example, assisting PreK teachers with meal prep or taking leftover food items to the compost. Essentially giving the children a sense of responsibility and an opportunity to contribute. https://padlet.com/ncarbone6/2kmb0s5pi17dxov8/wish/2596712723 2023-05-18 20:04:26 UTC https://padlet.com/ncarbone6/2kmb0s5pi17dxov8/wish/2596712723 Much of the current plan could still be relevant, but it should be more tailored to C8 (looks like it was written for Cook Campus) and there are definitely some sections that could use some tweaking (e.g., I don't think caregivers agree that teachers should take kids' food away from them if it's not "healthy"). The policy should be realistic, if we expect teachers/parents to follow it. https://padlet.com/ncarbone6/2kmb0s5pi17dxov8/wish/2596716691 2023-05-18 20:10:15 UTC https://padlet.com/ncarbone6/2kmb0s5pi17dxov8/wish/2596716691 Talking about food allergies with students. Ensuring students understand each others' situations and that students can identify any symtoms they themselves might be experiencing. https://padlet.com/ncarbone6/2kmb0s5pi17dxov8/wish/2596716752 2023-05-18 20:10:19 UTC https://padlet.com/ncarbone6/2kmb0s5pi17dxov8/wish/2596716752 According to the policy, there *should* also be an Implementation Plan. Does that exist? Can we take a look at it? This Plan should definitely get teacher input to see if it is realistic to implement/enforce in the classroom. https://padlet.com/ncarbone6/2kmb0s5pi17dxov8/wish/2596717320 2023-05-18 20:11:12 UTC https://padlet.com/ncarbone6/2kmb0s5pi17dxov8/wish/2596717320 Can MV go above and beyond basic OSSE requirements to provide more nutritious food for the kids? Is that something the vendor could accommodate (e.g., less sugar)? https://padlet.com/ncarbone6/2kmb0s5pi17dxov8/wish/2596718057 2023-05-18 20:12:11 UTC https://padlet.com/ncarbone6/2kmb0s5pi17dxov8/wish/2596718057 A school culture where everyone can and does eat the school lunch. https://padlet.com/ncarbone6/2kmb0s5pi17dxov8/wish/2596724170 2023-05-18 20:21:09 UTC https://padlet.com/ncarbone6/2kmb0s5pi17dxov8/wish/2596724170 Annual Progress Reports. Per the existing policy, "Mundo Verde will compile and publish basic information about the Wellness Policy and progress in meeting wellness goals outlined in the Action Plan." Have progress reports been conducted in the past? If so, can we see them? https://padlet.com/ncarbone6/2kmb0s5pi17dxov8/wish/2596725659 2023-05-18 20:23:39 UTC https://padlet.com/ncarbone6/2kmb0s5pi17dxov8/wish/2596725659 Train teachers and staff so they understand the Wellness Policy and feel comfortable implementing it. https://padlet.com/ncarbone6/2kmb0s5pi17dxov8/wish/2596726224 2023-05-18 20:24:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ncarbone6/2kmb0s5pi17dxov8/wish/2596726224 Do not show videos during lunch time (this happens in some classrooms)! https://padlet.com/ncarbone6/2kmb0s5pi17dxov8/wish/2596727242 2023-05-18 20:25:56 UTC https://padlet.com/ncarbone6/2kmb0s5pi17dxov8/wish/2596727242 Talk to kids, and prompt them to talk to each other, about different types of diets or foods kids eat at home. https://padlet.com/ncarbone6/2kmb0s5pi17dxov8/wish/2596730218 2023-05-18 20:30:41 UTC https://padlet.com/ncarbone6/2kmb0s5pi17dxov8/wish/2596730218 Make sure teachers have the language/script to gently explain to children in an age appropriate way, why certain foods may make it harder to concentrate, while other foods provide more nourishment for the brain and body. https://padlet.com/ncarbone6/2kmb0s5pi17dxov8/wish/2596763438 2023-05-18 21:29:07 UTC https://padlet.com/ncarbone6/2kmb0s5pi17dxov8/wish/2596763438 ncarbone6 https://padlet.com/ncarbone6/2kmb0s5pi17dxov8/wish/2597922158 2023-05-19 18:50:07 UTC https://padlet.com/ncarbone6/2kmb0s5pi17dxov8/wish/2597922158 ncarbone6 https://padlet.com/ncarbone6/2kmb0s5pi17dxov8/wish/2597922544 2023-05-19 18:50:44 UTC https://padlet.com/ncarbone6/2kmb0s5pi17dxov8/wish/2597922544 ncarbone6 https://padlet.com/ncarbone6/2kmb0s5pi17dxov8/wish/2597922754 2023-05-19 18:50:57 UTC https://padlet.com/ncarbone6/2kmb0s5pi17dxov8/wish/2597922754 Visiting Classrooms jleng2 https://padlet.com/ncarbone6/2kmb0s5pi17dxov8/wish/2600215441 Meals team schedules formal and informal visits to classrooms to discuss food related topics]]> 2023-05-22 15:01:46 UTC https://padlet.com/ncarbone6/2kmb0s5pi17dxov8/wish/2600215441 Partner with local farm to purchase in season fruits and vegatables that could otherwise go to waste.
