April 13th - 16th, 2026: Food Groups & Healthy Eating!

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 find beginning sounds for different foods, and responded to the journal prompt, "What is your favorite food?". We read the books The Fruit GroupThe Vegetable Group, The Little PeaThe Grains Group, The Fats, Sweets and Oils Group, The Dairy Group, and The Protein Group and reviewed the letters T, U, V & W from HWT.
