Healthy Skyhawks

Welcome back!

We hope everyone had a very fun, restful Fall Break!

The kindergarteners are continuing discussions about healthy eating habits and the importance of good nutrition. Tomorrow is an exciting day! We have our first guest speaker coming in. Mrs. Mary Ann Grainger, a registered dietician, will be here to talk to the kindergarten about how to make healthy choices. Be sure to ask your child what they learned.

 In an effort to encourage our students to try new healthy foods, we are offering a food badge for each NEW food tasted at home. Please send in a note stating which food your child tried. You can jot the name of the food on any piece of paper, then have your child draw a smiley face or a frown to indicate what they thought about the new food.
 Happy Eating!




 


 

 

 

 

 

 

   

Science Update

Using cross curricula connections, the kindergarteners will be spending the month of October learning about healthy eating habits. Eating is the most important thing we do each day, and this unit of study will explain why

We will find out:
  • Which foods you need to eat everyday
  • Where food goes after you swallow it
  • Why it's good to eat breakfast
  • What vitamins and other nutrients are for
  • Why you can't eat only candy!!
