Week of April 28-May 1, 2014

Theme: Healthy Habits

Letter: Z

Dear Parents,

Our next unit, Healthy Foods and Healthy Body, will cover the next four weeks. Our first week we will be focusing on Healthy Habits. These habits will include such things as hand washing, toothbrushing and caring for coughs and sneezes.  We will do a germ experiment that will help the children actually sees how germs get on their hands and then are shared on toys and other items.  We will also begin to discuss healthy foods vs unhealthy foods.  On Wednesday we are going to celebrate our favorite healthy foods. Please have your child bring in their favorite healthy snack, preferably a fruit or vegetable, that they will share with their friends in the class (a.m. class=8 students, p.m. class=13 students). Some stories that we will be reading include: Germs Are Not For Sharing and Those Mean, Nasty, Dirty, Downright Disgusting but Invisible Germs.

Looks like rain is in the forecast for the beginning of the week but as soon as it starts drying out we will be back outside for some outdoor playtime. Please remember if your child has sun sensitive skin to put sunscreen on them before coming to school.
