We have been studying about how to take care of our bodies this week. On Tuesday the children had the opportunity to try new types of fruit. Hopefully, they told you which were their favorites. I was shocked by Mackenzie's favorite--papaya! It was exciting to see the kids bravely try new fruits!

On Wednesday we discovered the protein in grains and we ground grain into flour! Timmy really wanted to make pancakes out of the flour, but unfortunately there wasn't enough flour! On Friday we are making biscuits out of flour!

Friday is vegetable day. We will make vegetable soup to go with our biscuits!

Along with learning about nutrition and other aspects of health, we are learning the major body parts and systems. Of course, kindergarten curriculum is very basic, but any discussion or reinforcement on health at home would add to our discussions here at school. This is a good time to start asking your children to make responsible and healthful choices in food, rest, exercise, etc.

After Spring Break we will enjoy a field trip to the hospital to see how doctors can look inside our bodies to see if we are healthy. Hopefully, we will even get to see a newborn baby! The field trip to the hospital is always a fun one!

Thank you - Just want to say a big thank you to all of you who have come into the classroom to help out. I know schedules are tight, but your child is thrilled when you can come in and see the world he/she lives in for up to 7 hours a day. Brendan's mom, Bonnie, is our newest reading mom in the mornings. Thanks, Bonnie, for working us into your busy schedule. Even if you can only pop in and say "Hi" or show us some special hobby that you do--our program is flexible and you are a priority!

Have a great week-end with your family! Take time to enjoy the signs of Spring out in nature!
