¡Le Presento a Choosy!Estimada Familia:

¡Estamos aprendiendo cosas nuevas en la escuela que puede conducir a una vida de mejor salud para su

Como un embajador para niños sanos, Choosy desea ayudar a prevenir la obesidad de los niños. Él

reconoce que las preferencias a los alimentos y a la actividad física se aprenden de otros temprano en

la vida. Choosy es un buen ejemplo que anima a tomar decisiones saludables. Él ayuda a los adultos a

facilitar intencionalmente las experiencias de los ejercicios y de la nutrición para que los niños refuerzen

preferencias saludables temprano en la vida y a menudo.¡En las semanas que vienen, ustedes van a recibir más información sobre Choosy en boletines como

éste y a través de su niño! Para ayudar a apoyar las nuevas habilidades y el conocimiento de su niño,

sugeriremos algunas actividades divertidas que su familia puede hacer juntos. Además, ustedes van a

recibir más información sobre la nutrición y las actividades físicas para que ustedes puedan ayudar a su

niño a escoger opciones saludables. Incluso le enviaremos algunas recetas para hacer bocaditos nutritivos

juntos, como éste:

Pida que su niño elija un bocadito saludable que le guste a su familia. Ayude a su niño a escribir la receta

en la hoja adjunta. ¡Entonces, envíe la receta a la escuela con su niño, y la incluiremos en un libro de cocina

hecho con todas las recetas de la clase!Sinceramente,

Los Rodillos de Fruta

Lo que necesita: una banana, manzana o pera

avena tostada

Como preparar: 1. Corte la fruta en pedazos de tamaño mediano.

entre las opciones saludables. No agregue las opciones no saludables.”
