Human Body/Nutrition Unit

During the month of January we studied our bodies and how to keep them healthy. We began by learning about our bones, muscles, parts of our bodies and our five senses. We then transitioned into learning about how food and exercise keeps our bodies healthy! We examined our snacks and identified if they were green light (healthy), yellow light (kind of healthy) or red light foods (unhealthy). There was a lot of debate over goldfish, PB&J sandwiches and pirate booty! We decided on yellow! We turned our dramatic play area into a supermarket and invited AJ Govoni to the Treehouse to teach mediation and yoga! Overall we feel the students took away the understanding that how we treat and take care of our bodies through food and exercise effects our health! Oh and its always okay to enjoy a cupcake every once in awhile!
