Health and Nutrition

Before we enjoy all the candy and treats next week, it's time to learn about how to stay healthy!  The children learned about foods that are good for us and those that we should only enjoy every now and then.  They talked about the food pyramid and how many servings of each food group they should have each day.  They even did a fun art project to better understand what items should be on their plate for each meal.  One classroom sorted food by colors!

 

Washing the vegetables and lacing noodles!

We also talked about germs and how we have to be sure to wash her hands often and cover our mouth when we cough or sneeze.  The Toddler's did a fun science activity where they pretended glitter was germs and then shook hands with the other children to see how easily germs can spread.

Our letter of the week is "L" so the children made "L is for Lion" and one classroom made Lollipops!
