Nutrition

After so many sweet treats and candy from Halloween, we decided it was a great time to talk about nutrition!  Even though we all love sweets, we have to be careful not to eat too many!  The children did many activities during the week with the food pyramid to discover the importance of consuming enough servings from each food group.
The children cut out pictures of food and glued them
in the correct section on the food pyramid.
While learning about fruits and vegetables,
the 2's colored some pictures of different types of produce!
This week, we also talked about staying healthy.  They participated in several different exercises throughout the week.  The children learned about ways they can help to not spread germs by washing their hands, covering their mouth when coughing or sneezing, etc. 
Making a face that can cover it's mouth when it sneezes or coughs!

The letter of the week was M.  The children made "M is for Mouse" and the 3's also made Mr. Moose!  Our cooking activity reinforced our letter of the week with Monkey Bread.  The children really enjoyed this sweet treat!
Such a cute Mr. Moose!
