Good afternoon Aspen Families!

This week in Aspen we talked about health and nutrition. In circle we talked about healthy choices we can make for our bodies every day to keep us healthy and strong. We talked about brushing teeth, washing hands, eating healthy foods, exercising our bodies, and getting enough sleep. In circle we read I like to Exercise, I need Sleep, Why we eat Healthy Foods, and Brush your Teeth. The children enjoyed talking about ways they are healthy and what other ways they can be healthy.

In science small group this week the children sorted different fruits and matched them to picture cards. They had so much fun working with real fruits and matching them to the correct cards. The children also took a closer look at various kinds of apples. They compared and contrasted apples. In art this week the children worked on a grocery list collage. They found pictures of varying food items they could purchase at a grocery store and glued them to paper. In High Scope math this week the children worked on counting and building. They constructed roads to drive on and houses for animals to live in.

In music this week the children danced with scarves, and sang finger play songs. In P.E. the children ran races outside, did some yoga poses, and did movement songs. The children enjoyed keeping their bodies moving in order to keep their bodies healthy.

Next week we will talk about Spring and the changes in weather and seasons. Have a wonderful weekend.
