First graders learn that people, animals and plants all need food or nutrients to live and grow. They sort foods into simple groups like fruits and vegetables, and talk about which foods help our bodies grow strong. They learn that some foods come from plants, like apples and carrots, and some come from animals, like eggs and milk. Kids also name foods for breakfast, lunch and dinner and try new food words. The click moment is when a child proudly reports, "I ate a vegetable at lunch, and it was a plant part!"
