Title of Bulletin Board: What's on Your Plate this Thanksgiving?

Category: Holiday-Thanksgiving

Suggested Grade Level: 3-8

Materials: Boarder, construction paper, maker, bulletin board paper, scissors, stapler

Description:

I created this board because it is the week before Thanksgiving, and I wanted to bring awareness to the amount of calories that are in common holiday foods. The board has listed main dishes, side dishes, appetizers, and desserts! I utilized festive colors, and chose to use turkey feathers to display the calorie/food information. The calorie information was found using MyFitnessPal. My board also follows state and national standards.
