Hello Families,
Although it will be a short week, it sure will be busy! Today we had our first “King of ing!” Take a look at Ameena!
In Social Studies we have been learning about Needs and Wants. We have been discussing how we need to eat healthy foods. Several students asked the important question of how do we know if something is healthy or not. We started looking at labels of some of our favorite snacks.
I put out a variety of snacks for the students to pick, some healthy some not. Zeinab was the only student to pick fruit over cookies or chips. Although it didn’t surprise me about the snack choices of kindergartners, it did surprise me when I took the leftover snacks to a staff meeting and many teachers picked the chips and cookies over the fruit!:)
We found out that many of our favorite foods have lots of sugar! Tomorrow we will be actually measuring out how much sugar some of our favorite snacks have. This project ties into our upcoming field trip to Kroger. Thanks to everyone who brought in their field trip permission slip and money! I haven’t had a chance to go through all the permission slips yet, but will let you know who will be coming to help us on Tuesday, December 2nd to our field trip to Kroger! I will post our chaperones tonight or tomorrow!
- Letter books will not be sent home this week due to the short week.
- Words of the Week: mom dad
- Please return library books for Tuesday.
- In your child’s red folder tomorrow, students will bring home something special for Thanksgiving. Thanks to Thomas’s mom for helping me today with the Thanksgiving project.
Until next time…
Ms. Wright
