Hello Firefly Families!
This week we learned all about our six food groups and how to eat healthy. We created the "Firefly Market" in our reading arch, sampled fruits & veggies, wrote a sentence writer story about our favorite foods, played multiple food group games, went on a scavenger hunt to write our "grocery list", and responded to the journal prompt, "What is your favorite food? What food group is it in?". We also started to talk about Earth Day and how we can be SUPER HEROES to our planet! We made upcycled capes with old tee shirts and painted them. We will continue learning about next week! We read the books The Fruit Group, The Vegetable Group, The Grains Group, The Fats, Sweets and Oils Group, The Dairy Group, and The Protein Group and reviewed the letters P, Q, R & S from HWT.
Reminders:
*Passport Day: Saturday, April 20th 10 am - 12 pm
*Our library is closing next Thursday, April 25th! Please make sure all library books are brought back next week. Thanks for your help as we close the library down for the school year.
