Daily Message: March 4
Yesterday in math the children created the March reading calendar. Today they did some calendar review in their math book. Because we have been working with the calendar once a month for the reading project, they are quite skilled and had no trouble with the problems in the book.
Today in health class we began our unit on nutrition by sharing an edition of Scholastic News. This edition deals with the fact that scientists are discovering that different colors of fruits and vegetables are beneficial for certain areas of the body. During this unit we will be working with the new food pyramid's daily recommendations for healthy variety in our diet, food labels focusing on sugar content, and expanding our food choices by trying new foods.
I received the following note from Ms. Gaida today:
It was Dr. Suess's birthday yesterday so we will be visiting his web site during computer class.

We will also look at pictures of Amelia Earhart.

The lessons sounded so interesting that I decided to visit computer lab. The children loved the Suessville site; you might suggest your child access it at home. You can see the concentration on their faces!
