This Week in Primary
Dear Plum Tree Friends and Families,
This week has been wonderful! We went for a walk on our Nature Trail
and saw the leaves changing and beginning to fall.
We also have a tulip poplar on our Nature Trail. The tulip poplar
is the our state tree! AND, we have goldenrods growing all over our Nature
Trail–our state flower!
I introduced the children to the Skeletal System, and we are learning our
skeletal song, THEM BONES! I will post this on our web-site as
soon as I can.
Along with learning about the skeletal system, we have been discussing
what our bodies need for strong, healthy bones and teeth:
1. Sunshine
2. Safe Exercise
3. Foods rich in Vitamin D and Calcium like spinach, kale, broccoli,
yogurt, milk, ice cream, & cheese
4. Sleep
Today, we viewed real x-rays!
We will continue our study after Fall Break. Plum Tree will be closed
October 3-11, 2011 for Fall Break. School will resume Wednesday, October 12,
2011.
Remember: Tomorrow is Show & Share!!
Unfortunately a couple of our friends have been ill with a temperature.
We hope they feel better very soon!
Sincerely.
Miss Michele
