2. Project Overview Creating a Healthy Cookbook This week, students will get to choose which recipe they will work on for our healthy cookbooks. On Monday, they will work with dietician, Lori Walton, to select healthy substitutions for their favorite recipes. Then, students will rewrite the “healthier” version of their recipe using sequencing words and knowledge of the food groups. Students will also work in math to apply their measuring skills needed for their recipes.
