Happy Healthy New Year!

Happy New Year!

Welcome back to a new year of fun and learning!

To start off the new year on a positive note, we read Squirrel's New Year's Resolution.

Making a resolution was a new idea for many of the students in our class 

so we thought of some great ideas. 

 As a class we are going to try to be more healthy.

Take a look at the ideas from your children...

In order to learn how to keep their bodies and their minds calm, the students will be taking part 

in mindfulness activities, including breathing exercises, songs, and 

stretches.

We talked about the 4 food groups today and did some sorting activities.  

Tomorrow they will be sorting their snacks and lunches into the different

food groups.  I will be strongly encouraging them to choose healthy snacks from their 

lunch pails for their morning snack.  Can you please help your child regularly pack

at least one healthy item to choose for their morning snack so they 

can take part in our healthy challenge.

 The students really enjoyed listening to this story this morning...they wanted to hear it twice!
