Master Chef Junior- Health Assignment

*Students will also be provided with a hard copy of this assignment at school ***  
Healthy Eating Unit Follow-Up Assignment: Master Chef Junior
As part of our Healthy Eating Unit, the grade six students have been asked to create a menu that includes
one breakfast meal, one lunch meal, one dinner meal and one snack. As an extension of creating the menu,
they will also be asked to cook or at least help prepare one of the meals on their menu for your family! 
The meal can be modified in any way (for example: if the menu calls for raspberries and you do not have
raspberries, please feel free to replace them with anything you wish). Parents are asked to be an active part
of the preparation, cooking and cleaning up process. You can assist them in any way that you see fit. They 
have been told to take into consideration any dietary needs or restrictions, and to make the meal as healthy
as they possibly can. You have until Friday, November 29th, 2019 to complete this task.
