Calling All Parents! Journey Day Parent Information Meeting

Thursday, February 20, 3:15 pm, Room B003 (Chew) On Thursday, May 21st your child will take part in an educational celebration, Journey

Day. This event will follow a unit of study based on the first immigrants to come to the

United States through Ellis Island. Students will dress as immigrants (very basic, more

to follow on this later), “travel to America,” and then experience what it was like to pass

through immigration.

This event promises to be a fun and educational experience for our 3rd graders. In order

to pull it all together, WE NEED YOUR HELP! We need volunteers to help with planning

and organizing, constructing props, setting up, manning stations, and cleaning up. If you

are interested in getting more information about this event and how you can help,

please come to the information meeting on February 20, at 3:15 in room B003

(Chew). If you are unable to attend the meeting but still want to help in any of these

capacities, please complete the form below and return it to school with your student

ASAP.

Thank you in advance for helping make this a wonderfully memorable event for all our

children.

Put away the salt Here’s an easy way to cut

back on the amount of salt your child eats: Don’t invite the salt-shaker to the dinner table! If it’s out of sight, he won’t salt food without thinking. Too much salt can lead to high blood pressure and other health risks. Idea: Set out alternatives like lemon pepper and salt-free season-ing blends.

Active fundraisers Offer to help plan a healthy PTA or PTO fundraiser. Instead of selling candy or other sugary foods, suggest active ways to raise money. Your group might hold a bike-a-thon or a student-teacher kickball tournament, for instance. This will get your youngster and her classmates mov-ing and encourage healthy habits.

Your child can use science to determine whether an egg is fresh!

Have him put an egg in a glass of cold water. If it’s fresh, it will sink. If it floats, it’s past its prime. Why? Eggshells have tiny holes that air seeps into over time—the more air an egg has inside, the older it is and the more likely it is to float.

Just for fun Q: Why did the jelly wobble?

A: It saw the milk shake.

Healthy choices at the store Turn a trip to the supermarket into a

healthy adventure for your child. Use these tips to teach her to make good food choices from the start.

Make a list Before you head out,

plan meals with your youngster. Ask her to name healthy foods to eat this week. Which lean protein (chicken, black beans, fish) would she like for dinner each night? What nutritious snacks should you buy? Have her write a shopping list that includes her ideas. She’ll learn that using a list can keep her focused and cut down on the tendency to toss chips or cookies into the cart.

Read labels At the store, show your child how

to read labels. Then, give her chal-lenges. You might ask her to find a box of crackers with whole wheat as the first ingredient (meaning there’s more whole wheat than anything else)

Alphabet ftness

or the yogurt with the least amount of sugar per serving.

Discover new foods Work together to find a healthy

new food to try. In the produce sec-tion, she might spot parsnips or ruta-bagas, for example. Check out the international aisle, which may have tahini (sesame seed paste) or brown rice noodles. Let her put the new food in the cart, and at home, research ways to include it in a meal.

and outdoor, or ones he can do alone or with other people. Examples: A = acrobatics, B = beach ball toss.

Now put a set of letter tiles or magnetic letters in a bag or bowl. Your youngster can pull out a letter anytime and do the matching activity. “It’s C. Let’s have a crab-walk race!”

This institution is an equal opportunity provider.

obstacle course

Trekking through a forest is great exercise—and so is navigating this cre-ative indoor version. Encourage your child to make and play in an obstacle course disguised as a forest.

1. Set it up. What can she find aroundthe house to make her “forest”? She mightuse a blue beach towel for a stream, greenwashcloths for lily pads, blocks for stones,and chairs for trees.

2. Add “creatures.” Now your young-ster can scatter stuffed animals or maga-zine pictures of animals throughout.

3. Go exploring! Let your child movethrough her forest. She can hop acrossthe lily pads, climb the chair, and movelike the animals. Maybe she’ll swimlike a fish or jump like a bunny.

Managing diabetes When my son Logan was diagnosed

with Type 2 diabetes, I worried about how he’d manage, especially when I wasn’t with him. So we worked with a dietitian to create a healthy eating plan.

The dietitian said Logan doesn’t need special foods—just a nutritious diet and plenty of exer-cise. She also told us to email copies of his care plan to his teachers, the school nurse, the cafeteria manager, and the principal. Now they know when Logan may need a blood sugar check or a snack. If he goes to a friend’s house, I send a healthy treat to share and give the parent a list of symptoms that would indicate his blood sugar is dropping or spiking.

Our whole family is working on eating better and being more active. That’s making things easier for Logan and keeping us all healthier.

Four-ingredient meals Healthy dinners don’t need to be

complicated. These meals taste great and burst with nutrition—and each one has just four ingredients.

Chicken caprese Stir together: diced

baked chicken, grape tomatoes, marinated mozzarella balls.

Toss with: whole-grain angel hair pasta (cooked, drained).

Quinoa bowl Stir together: cooked quinoa, canned

chickpeas (drained and rinsed), sliced black olives.

Top with: plain nonfat yogurt.

Tuna tacos Stir together: can or

pouch of tuna (packed in water, drained), avocado chunks, shredded purple cabbage.

Serve in: whole-wheat tortillas.
