Nutrition and the Letter Y

Today we began our unit on Nutrition by discussing healthy food choices. I know we are going to have some healthy snacks. (No, cookies for me this week!) We ended our discussion with a book, Chocolatina by Erik Craft. It is about a little girl who loves chocolate on everything! Her health teacher informs her class daily "You are what you eat." Guess what happens?!!  There is a surprise ending. As a center, the children were asked what they would turn into if they ate a certain item everyday. And  here is what they said.
David- a flying Cheetos
Captain- a doughnut
Anna the Cheetos
Jon Reese the Cookie Boat
Nico- Doughtnut E
Swayze the Burger
Mary Elizabeth- Super Cat Gummi Girl

As for the Letter of the week, Miss Alpha-ca-pillar was in rare form. She did manage to introduce the Letter Y. She is off to Yellowstone by Yugo where she will be yodeling and eating yogurt
