Fuel Up to Be Fit!

Another week has flew by!  Friday afternoon our school enjoyed our annual wellness kickoff.  At 1:30 the entire school met in the high school gym for a short assembly.  This year's theme "Fuel up to Be Fit" was announced as we continue to emphasize healthy eating and exercise.  The administration team shared some of their favorite fitness activities.  The cheerleaders have also choreographed a dance routine and taught the moves to the student body.  It was fun watching everyone "jive" with the music.  Following the assembly, students were dismissed outside.  Elementary students were treated with delicious smoothies and then had fun dancing to a DJ and bouncing in bouncy houses. It was a great way to celebrate the importance of our health.  At home I encourage you to talk to your kids about what physical activities they enjoy.  Also experiment with trying and cooking with different fruits and vegetables.  It can be a lot of fun!

As we look to next week, we will continue practicing our routines, review previous concepts, and start introducing new information.  In science we will continue exploring plant and animal populations.  In math we will examine the different ways to use numbers including making and reading graphs.  In literacy we will continue to expand on topics to write about and exploring "Good Fit" books for each person.  We have introduced our CAFE strategy board and have been adding strategies to it to help us comprehend better, read more fluently, and learn new vocabulary.  There is so much to learn!!!!  Have a great week.
