Eating Right
and Learning
Every day I
walk students down to the lunch room.
Usually, I quickly leave to work on lesson plans, but lately I have been
staying to see what kids are eating. I
am shocked to see that kids pick up a milk and the main meal (pizza or pb
sandwich, or chicken, etc) and they skip the salad bar! If they do go to the salad bar, they pick up
one baby carrot and maybe a slice of an orange. I also notice students never
touch their milk! A healthy diet is
crucial to learning. If your child is
sluggish in the afternoon because they haven’t had a single piece of fruit or
vegetables all day, it will hurt
their learning. For those families that are fortunate to have the time
to pack lunches for your child- don’t forget about those fruits and veggies!
Staying
hydrated is
just as important, especially in this dry climate. Students ARE ALLOWED a water bottle that will
not spill, in the classroom.
As adults, we
all know how important a healthy diet is.
We are role models for our children. I am guilty! So I am taking pledge to stop my habit of
Sugar-Free Red Bull! I also pledge
to show students the healthy foods I am eating.
PLEASE talk with your children about eating right. I would love pictures
of healthy meals you and your family have been eating at home. Send them my way and I will post them on the
blog! I will also take pics of students eating healthy lunches at school! I posted links on the blog for advice about
how to help kids eat healthy, please check them out!

We
will be celebrating the 100th day of school on Tuesday, February 12th,
2013. We will spend our time doing a
variety of fun math activities that incorporate the number 100. One of the things we would like you and your
child to do is a 100-day project. This
project can be anything you can think of that represents the number 100. This does not need to cost anything. You can use what you have around the
house. Some examples of projects from
the past are; a heart poster with 100 heart candies glued inside or, an ocean
scene poster with 100 ocean animal stickers on it, a shirt with 100 buttons
glued or sewn on, a cake with 100 candles, or a poster with hand prints that
equaled 100. Be creative!
The
projects are due on Friday, February 8thl, 2012.
We
are also asking for some donations for the other projects we will be doing in
class that day. Please check off an item
that you can donate from the list and send it in by Monday, February 6th.
We
also would love to have help on this day.
If you can come in during your child’s math time to help let us know by
signing below.
If
you have any questions regarding this day, please let us know. Our celebration will be from 1:30-2:45
Thank
you

Thank you so much for
everyone that has brought in donations for the 100th day of school(Feb
12th)! We still need heart candies, red hots, raisins, and chocolate
chips.
I
would like students to make an abacus, however, I am in need of shoe
boxes! We will also need shoe boxes for
our Valentine’s Day cards that we will decorate in class!! That’s a total of 54 shoe boxes!!! If you have boxes, please send them
in!!! J
Here is a list of
students for Valentine’s Day cards. If
you plan on sending cards, EACH student must receive one. I also require that students write the names
themselves (instead of parents writing it for them). This is great handwriting practice!! If you do not want to purchase Valentine’s Day
cards you can have your child make them from scrap paper. If you want to have your child bring candy
for students, the same rule applies: Everyone must receive one!!!
If you do not want
your child to participate in the Valentine’s Day activities, please let me know
in advance and I will have something else prepared for them.

Dear Families,
During the month of February, I will be having a Shoelace Club. Each Tuesday morning (7:45-8:05-Room 116) students
will watch videos and read books teaching them to tie their shoes. They will also practice tying their own
shoes! Typically, children can begin to
learn to tie their shoes at age 3.
However, for most children they do not master this skill until the age
of 6. I am here to help! If you would like your child to participate
in this club, please fill out the bottom portion of this permission slip. The
maximum number of students is 20. The
first 20 signed permission slips I receive will be selected to join this
club.
Thank you,
Ms. Feinman
