LifeSPAN Gazette
November, 2022
Dear Preschool Families,
Welcome to the LifeSPAN (Life Sustaining Physical Activity & Nutrition) program! As LifeSPAN's Preschool Nutrition Facilitator, I'm excited to have the opportunity to visit your child's classroom this year to teach six interactive nutrition lessons. Each lesson will feature a different fruit or veggie for your child to see, touch, smell, and taste, as well as a fun physical activity. At the end of some lessons students will receive a cool kitchen gadget to use at home.
This month's featured produce item will be apples. Enjoying the featured fruit or vegetable together at home is a great way to support what your child learns during each lesson! In these newsletters I will keep you updated on lesosns, as well as provide recipes, physical activity ideas, and more.
Happy apple season!
Cara Ortiz,
LifeSPAN Preschool Nutrition Facilitator

How Many?
Not sure how many apples you'll need for a recipe? One medium apple cored and sliced is equivalent to about one cup. 3-4 medium apples are equal to about one pound.
