HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

Dear Parents,
We introduced a new unit on nutrition this week by learning about the Five Food Groups (fruit, vegetable, grain, protein, and dairy group).  We read several books about nutrition.  One of our favorites was, "I Eat a Rainbow," by Bobbie Kalman.  We then worked together to create our own classroom rainbow by cutting out pictures of fruits and vegetables from magazines and then gluing them onto a large rainbow shape.

Reading books about nutrition!

The children each made a "Healthy Plate" place mat which included one picture from each food group such as:  bananas from the fruit group, tomatoes from the vegetable group, bread from the grain group, and steak from the meat group.  Finally, we took pictures of the children drinking a glass of milk from the dairy group.  

We recently celebrated Adam's 4th birthday.  Thank you to his family for the delicious cupcakes. 

        

Happy 4th Birthday Adam!

Other fun areas in the classroom:

 Next week we look forward to beginning our food book booklet page on the dairy group.  The children will also practice "milking a cow."

Please sign up for the Parent Teacher Conferences if you have not done so already.  It will be held on Wed, May 23rd. 

Thank you to all the parents who contributed to the wonderful Teacher Appreciation Luncheon.  We really appreciated your thoughtfulness and your time spent putting it together.  

On Friday, we had our Mother's Day celebration.  The children have been preparing your gifts for the past few weeks and could hardly wait to give them to you.  The children did a great job singing at our concert.  I'm sure you all agree.  Special thanks to Ms. Yuting for accompanying the children on the piano. 

Have a wonderful Mother's Day weekend.


Best,

Ms. Bonne and Ms. Denise
