On the first day of Zhuyuan Elementary School, as soon as the children enter the school, they will be attracted by various foods. At the opening ceremony, the team will combine the theme of the food education CD to propose to all students, through poetry, singing, gesture dancing, etc., to help children understand the hard won nature of food and cultivate the habit of cherishing food. First grade children will find the small task of "Let's Play Customized Chess in Campus Space" in their opening gift.
Shen Chen, the father of Shen Yuting in Class 2, prepared the elaborate PPT early. On the first day of school, he will incarnate as a guest teacher to give children a beautiful, colorful and tasteful "CD" action guidance lesson. "I will tell the children what nutrients each food has, and not being picky about food can help them grow tall and strong," said Shen Chen.
In the activity of "clocking in" on the first day of school, there was a well-designed creative checkpoint: children would design and create "Clean Your Plate Campaign" nursery rhymes by themselves in teams. Friends supervise and remind each other, and everyone strives to be the "pioneer of CDs". "A lunch is actually a very good moral education topic. In the new semester, we take 'CD' as a moral education theme activity, and form a joint effort of education with schools, families and society to help each student develop the good habit of not wasting CDs and eating healthily." Lou Huaying, the principal of Zhuyuan Primary School, said that every class in the school has also set up a "Clean Your Plate Campaign Team". The team leader checks the children's dinner plates every day and makes records. After summarizing on Monday, for five consecutive days, we can get a bamboo shoot stamp. The class with outstanding performance can also win a water drop stamp on the replica wall.

In the new semester, Minhang District Education College Affiliated Youai Experimental Middle School will open a new high school department. In schools, "grain saving buckets," "fishing rods," and "cleaning bags" have long become the "three piece set" of innovative labor practices. During lunch time every day, the school cafeteria has a "food saving bucket". In order to prevent waste on the tongue, the school has also established a student civilized dining autonomous management committee. After lunch, the student's independent administrator will weigh and record the leftover food. Persist in daily recording and weekly feedback, and the "leftover food weighing" activity stimulates students' enthusiasm and interest in food conservation, leading to the emergence of more "CD players". The school has also set up "Four Ones" student labor projects - adhering to one household chores, responsible for one labor position, participating in one public welfare labor, and experiencing one professional labor. It has also released a student labor list, distributed kitchen "cleaning bags" to student families, and encouraged students to participate in household chores. The "Pujiang Volunteer Salvage" program, which has persisted for more than 20 years, has become a normalized platform for student community volunteer public welfare labor. Learning labor skills, learning to respect workers, cherishing labor achievements, and experiencing labor creating a better life. "One Congee and one meal is hard to come by when thinking." "CD, there is no feeling of hunger after school, giving the body full of power." The students said.
Many schools in Shanghai are using their brains to ensure that CDs are not wasted. Considering that some children have a small appetite and cannot finish their meals, Wuning Road Primary School in Putuo District adopts a "on-demand meal collection" approach. Each class will add additional lunch boxes to serve students with different needs. The homeroom teacher will also inform the cafeteria in advance to meet the needs of each child with special needs. In humanized measures, food education and labor education are also integrated to avoid picky eating and waste. The main purpose of "taking food as needed" is not to waste food, rather than simply "eating less". Some parents believe that the amount eaten per meal varies from person to person. When children grow up, they should still eat what they should, and the key is how to eat enough, eat well, and not waste. Many parents believe that children nowadays generally have better living conditions and are favored by their ancestors. Some children are picky eaters, which leads to waste. Therefore, food education is necessary. For example, when teachers participate in accompanying meals, they also encourage parents to experience accompanying meals, strengthen communication between home and school, understand food, and jointly promote food education, frugality, and not waste. Some parents also believe that in order to prevent their children from wasting CDs, it is even more necessary for the cafeteria to cook the dishes healthily and deliciously. When going out for a dinner party, teach children to order according to their needs and not to be careless. Eat as much as you want, order as much as you want, and if there is more, pack accordingly. Similarly, at home, plan a good recipe, purchase according to demand, eat fresh without wasting, and create an atmosphere of thrift and glory at home.
