Guacamole, Smoothies, & Energy Balls

This week we discussed what we can do to take care of our bodies and what our bodies need to move and exercise. We talked about how our bodies are like batteries, and we need to keep them "charged" or full of good things to have the energy to play and learn. If we don't fill up on foods full of nutrients, we won't have the "power" or energy to keep going, like a battery when it loses its charge.

We made energy balls, smoothies, and guacamole. I asked them all to at least try one bite of everything, and if they didn't like it, they didn't have to eat it. I was pleasantly surprised by how many of them enjoyed eating everything.

Letter Review

We are more than half way through the alphabet and we working hard every week learning new letters & numbers. I try to dedicate Friday's to letter & number review in some sort of way. Some days we use dry erase boards others days I let them write in shaving cream or flour. Today I had the class spread out on the floor and they wrote on large pieces of paper with markers (a favorite with these kiddos). I verbally gave instructions and they had to use things around the room for help if they needed it. They all did really well!
