Week of March 30-April 2, 2015

Theme: Staying Healthy

Focus question: How can I stay healthy?

Letter of the Week: Vv

Dear Families,

As we conclude our unit Healthy Food/Healthy Body, the children will review what they have learned during the past few weeks. The class will read, discuss, draw and write about what they now know about healthy habits, healthy food choices, and the importance of exercise. children will also learn how doctors and dentist work hard to help us stay healthy and about the basic human need for food, clothing, and shelter.

Learning Together

Share healthy snacks with your child and talk with him or her about why you used certain types of foods to create them.

• Visit a local park or playground on a regular basis and encourage your child to play on the equipment.
• Talk with your child about why everyone needs proper clothing to stay healthy. Together, select some of your family's outgrown or gently-used clothing and donate it to a shelter.
