Our next upcoming unit is about ticks and Lyme Disease. Students learned about what a tick is and how to identify one. Students learned ways to be safe around ticks by wearing bug spray, performing tick checks, wearing light colored clothes, wearing long pants/shirts and tucking in pants to socks if they would be in an area where ticks live. Kindergartens will be going home with a tick check laminated card. Please encourage and assist your child in daily tick checks especially after playing outside.
1st graders are wrapping up their final project for our nutrition unit. Students created their own restaurant and designed a menu! On the menu they had to create three meals using all 5 of the food groups. Their breakfast, lunch and dinner meals consisted of foods from the dairy, protein, grain, vegetable and fruit foods groups. Students used grocery store flyers to cut out pictures of food they wanted to include on their menu. |
