Just a few from the stack of Thank You cards I received from 3rd graders. Please check out my Pinterest page to see the awesome things these kids learned from just one school visit!  http://www.pinterest.com/apleimling/dymy-reader-feedback/

I read my book “Don’t Yuck My Yum” to 800 students on their last week of school. It was my first time reading it to this many kids so I chose to read it to one grade level at a time at two of our local elementary schools (grades K through 5). It took a longer time to do it this way, but reading it to each grade opened up the opportunity to have conversations with these young people about the book. The third grade at Lakeview Elementary school  surprised me with thank you cards. Throughout this whole book process I have been positive but this experience was by far the one that made me most proud and motivated to continue. Check out a few of their replies!

This little girl was inspired to try new things and boy did she ever nail the DYMY logo!

This child even passed the healthy eating messages on to his family!

Just a little time and these kids were impacted in a positive way. I find that elementary kids are very receptive to learning about nutrition and that is something to be taking advantage of for sure.
