Transitional-Kindergarten Grade Talking Points

• "Eating fruits and vegetables helps our bodies grow strong and healthy. Can you name a fruit or vegetable that you enjoy eating?"
• "Let's draw a picture of a healthy meal. What are some foods we can include in our drawing that will make our bodies healthy?"
• "We're going to play a game where we sort pictures of foods. Can you help me decide which ones are good for us to eat and which ones we should only have sometimes?"
