Weekly Words

Hello Moms and Dads, 

This week we began out nutrition unit with the help of the book The Little Red Hen.  In the story, the red hen finds grain, plants, nourishes, cuts, mills, and bakes all by herself without the help of her friends.  But when it is time to eat the bread she made, everyone wants to join... instead the Little Red Hen eats the bread all by herself!  We really enjoyed acting out the story.  See the slideshow below for pictures! 

We also cooked a food from our grain group- rotis!  Ms. Van and Ms. Gita helped us mix the ingredients and roll out the perfect circle.  After they were cooked, we enjoyed them with butter and jam.

Learning about the food groups is great!  The rest of the school year Ms. Liz challenged us to bring something from every food group in our snack.  I will need a vegetable, fruit, protein, grain, and dairy.  I hope I can do it!  Eating a well balanced snack is important to keep my body and brain working!

Thursday is Day 2 which means SWIMMING!  :)  Please remember swim caps, flip flops, towels, and a change of clothes.  Students should arrive to school in swimsuits.  

Next week is another short one.  There is no school on Easter Sunday.  We hope you enjoy your 3 day weekend.
