NUTRITION WEEK

Dear Parents,

This week we learned about all of the five food groups.  We started our unit with the dairy group. We read the Dairy Group Book by Megan Borgert-Spaniol.  The children created a dairy page for their "Nutrition Booklet" and glued on dairy products such as yogurt, milk, cottage cheese, cheese, and sour cream. "Sally" the milking cow was our special visitor for the day.  The children each took turns milking the cow. 
  

Tuesday was our fruit day.  We learned that the fruit group is high in vitamin C which helps your body heal and keep our teeth and bones healthy and strong.  The children added pictures of fruit on a page of their booklet.  We read "Fruits" by Valerie Bodden.  

On Wednesday we learned about vegetables.  Vegetables have vitamin C, vitamin B, calcium, and vitamin A. The class added pictures of vegetable to their booklets, after we read "Vegetables" by Valerie Bodden.  

Thursday, we learned about the fourth food group, grains.  The grain group are the seeds of grasses such as wheat, rice, oats, and barely.  The children glued on pictures of bread, pasta, and cereal on their booklet page. 

We celebrated Nora's 4th birthday on Thursday with delicious treats.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NORA!

Bobo loves “bath time “ (洗澡 xǐ zǎo）

Bobo doesn’t want to go to bed. “Sleep” (睡覺 shuì jiào)

No, no, no, No! 不要，不要，不要！（bù yào）

At the end Bobo had a great time playing with his friends and then fell asleep.

Notes from Ms. Yuting:

The children continue to work on their finger shape- each finger should be rounded like a rainbow arch except the thumbs, which stay straight.  
With Twinkle Variation A ( aka Mississippi Hot Dog), they are learning that the song has four parts- Bread, Cheese (or Jelly) , Cheese (Jelly)and Bread. After learning the notes in each section, they could play the whole song by following the order of the sandwich parts. 
The children are doing great in piano lessons, and parents are welcome to make an appointment with Ms. Yuting (yutingni@gmail.com) to see your child’s progress. 

On Friday, we celebrated Mother's Day.  The children did a great job singing.  They were so proud to hand out their special gifts and then shared delicious treats with mothers. 

Note:

Please leave your child's water bottles at school during the week and take them home on Friday.  We will be glad to clean them during the week. This will ensure that the child will have a water bottle at school every day.  

Have a very special Mother's day.

Love,  

Ms. Bonne & Ms. Denise
