Program Details: FMR is a 45-minute, 4th-grade core-based curriculum that takes place one day during the week of May 13-17, according to a school’s schedule (plus approximately 15 minutes of set up is involved in this program.) FMR is an exciting, fun, hands-on, physically active program offering students the opportunity to learn: What “Food Miles” are and how far food items travel from their origin; That it often takes more energy for food to travel from far away than it does to travel from more local sources; To pay more attention to where their food comes from; That locally grown foods are freshest; That the quality and taste of food can be affected by the distance it traveled, how it is handled and stored. This is accomplished through the running of a “ladders” relay- type course in conjunction with discussion.
Please let me know if you have any questions and I look forward to working with you! 🙂
