Weeks of Feb 25th & March 4th

The next couple of weeks will be spent learning about how to be healthy.  We will start to get the garden ready for planting.

We will learn about how making healthier choices eating choices make us feel better and grow stronger. This will include learning about all the food groups and why they are important.  We will talk about where this food comes from, how we can prepare it and how it helps our body.  We will be playing tray memory with different veggies and fruits during circle time, making real potato heads with grass seed, and even learning how to use some great kitchen utensils. 

We will be working on sequencing.  This is a great way to learn where our fruits and veggies come from.  

I encourage you to provide a fresh fruit or veggie if you are snack parent.  Have fun with it... Fruit & cream cheese pizza, yogurt parfait, smoothies...  

Please help me to keep the book club going.  We will pick a name tomorrow for the student to bring their favorite book in this week to share with the class.   

One last item, please sign up to help with the fundraiser.  This is our one big fundraising event and it requires the help of all of our families.  If you have any questions, please ask me.  Those of you that are on the baking or events committee, please touch base with me.  If you are unsure what you signed up for, the sign up sheet is on the tree in class.  If you have questions about seeking donations, please ask me.  You may be surprised how simple it is and how generous our community is.  

Thank you.  It is such a great feeling when our cooperative community comes together and works to accomplish so much for our children.  This school is what it is because of the families.  I know we all want the very best for our kids and this is the time to step up and make this fundraiser the most successful one yet.
