The children are enjoying our Unit of Inquiry 'A Healthy and Strong Body is my Responsibility'. This week we had a guest speaker, a tri-athlon athlete, talk to us about exercise. We warmed up and exercised in our classroom. Bailey's mom, who is a nurse, came to speak to us about our bodies and which vegetables are associated with our organs. She brought celery, carrots, raisins and cream cheese and showed us how to prepare a healthy snack called' Ants on a Log". Guess which foods were the ants and the log? The raisins and the celery! The children are enjoying making vegetable people out of paper. They must be able to tell me why they used certain vegetables and why these vegetables are good for healthy bodies.
