This month in physical
education, all students will begin their throwing units. Students in grades 3-5 will work on overhand
throwing with a variety of objects and students in K-2 will work on
self-tossing, underhand throwing, and overhand throwing. All students will also begin their nutrition
units. The younger students will learn about always healthy foods
versus sometimes healthy foods and will review the food groups. The
older students will practice reading food labels and will explore how much of
each food group they should be aiming for daily. For more
information tailored specifically to your child, go to www.choosemyplate.gov.
There, you will find
tools that:
- help you find healthy foods on
a budget
- allow you to look up specific
foods
- help you get personalized plans
- allow you to learn more about
the food groups
I hope everyone has a
wonderful Thanksgiving!
