Ants on a Log

It's always fun when Ms. Kelley visits! She always brings a book or flannel board story, then leads the kids in some active songs to move their bodies (healthy exercise!)


Sometimes she brings new foods for us to try.  Today she came to the cafeteria with us during snack and we made a healthy snack, Ants on a Log!


The kids got to make their own snack, with all of the ingredients (celery, peanut butter, and dried cherries) and a plastic knife. They did a great job!

The students were very brave about trying foods they'd never had before and many of them really liked it!  Lots of kids asked for seconds on the dried cherries!

Dental Health


Last week Lisa Wirth visited our classroom to teach us about good dental health. We'd prepared by reading lots of books about taking care of our teeth and about visiting the dentist. All of the students got to brush the big teeth with the big toothbrush. which they loved! If schedules align, we will visit Dodge Dental Clinic sometime in April or May!
