MyPlate Projects & Computer Lab

On Thursday we continued learning about eating healthy using MyPlate.  Students spent the afternoon creating their own MyPlate projects.  First, students put together their plates and then added three foods to each section.



If students needed an idea for their project they could look in one of our food group books.



Here's everyone working hard on their projects!

This morning we had a chance to go to the computer lab for the very first time.  Students practiced logging in to the computer, using a mouse, and exploring the Starfall website.

Living/Non-Living & Healthy Eating

We started the week off on Monday by learning about the differences between living & non-living things.  We learned that living things eat, move, grow, and reproduce.  Students worked together with their table groups to sort pictures of living and non-living things.

On Tuesday, we discussed the needs of living things.  One of the needs we talked about was food.  We spent time learning about the differences between healthy foods (foods we can eat anytime) and not so healthy foods (sometimes foods).  Students used ads from Cub Foods to make healthy and not healthy food posters.

 

 

One of the students in our class brought in a special fall harvest gift for everyone!  Thanks so much!!

Today we will be learning all about making healthy eating choices using my plate.  We will be playing a fun game called MyPlate Blast Off.  Your child can play the game at home using the link below:

There are also some other great resources on the MyPlate website:

More Labeling

On Friday, students took what we had learned about labeling early in the week to do a writing project.  First, students had ten minutes to draw a picture.  They could draw a picture of anything they wanted.  We worked on adding details to our drawings.  Then, students had ten more minutes to add labels to their drawings.  They did a FANTASTIC job! 

 

Here are students working hard on their drawings...



 

You can see everyone's finished writing projects below.  All of the projects will be put together to make a class book.
