Let's Stay Healthy!

If  your children have been coming home asking for vegetables this week, do not be alarmed! They are not sick, we have just been learning this week about staying healthy and community workers that help with this.

On Monday we talked about dentist and keeping our teeth healthy! We discussed different foods that are good and bad for your teeth. We then did a little craft by "brushing" yellow teeth and turning them white. Of course with all this teeth talk we had to make a fun snack! We took apples, peanut butter and marshmallows to make big smiles! At the end of the day we talked about f

On Tuesday we talked about nurses and keeping our bodies healthy. We worked up a sweat by doing some fun exercises! Then, some brave students tried many different kinds of vegetables. Surprisingly, most of them loved them! The pepper was a favorite (even though I don't even like them!). At the end of the day we made veggie monsters with the leftover vegetables.

Thursday we had two special visitors come in. In the morning a dental hygienist came in and talked about keeping teeth healthy. In the afternoon a nurse came in to talk about her job and hand washing. Both of them brought special goodies to bring home. A big thanks to them for coming in!

This week we also learned all about the letter "e" and sounding it out in words. The students are growing in learning, and I think really enjoying it!

In math we are continuing to talk about different numbers and their values. We also discussed ordinal numbers, which has been tricky. But I think the students are getting it!

Have a great (and healthy!) weekend.
