For the past two weeks, we learned about how to keep our bodies healthy. We learned about food groups, exercise, and taking care of our teeth! Vegetables are an important food group. We read a funny book called Little Pea (Rosenthal). Using fine motor skills and creativity, preschoolers made their own little peas with green play dough and wiggly eyes! Students learned how to keep their teeth healthy: flossing, brushing, visiting the dentist, and eating healthy foods. We practiced brushing and flossing with a recycled egg carton, white paint, yarn, and toothbrushes! Children made tooth brush crafts, and learned some fun dental health songs with Miss Powell during music enrichment. On BrainPopJr, we watched Caring For Teeth, and Going to the Dentist (username: rsd6, password: brainpop). BrainPopJr is a nonfiction website with curriculum-based content. Using "My Plate," preschool students learned about the various food groups: fruit, vegetables, protein, grains, and dairy. Preschoolers made their own lunch box; three year-olds glued on pictures of food, and four year-olds drew pictures of food, and used early literacy skills to label the food on their plates. We continued learning about food groups in wellness enrichment with Mrs. Wright. We used our senses to identify foods from each food group on "My Plate," which was so much fun! On BrainPopJr, we viewed "Food Groups," and "Eating Right" (username: rsd6, password: brain pop). For recipes, activities, games, and ideas, visit MyPlate Kids' Place.
