GALAXY ROOM NEWS WEEK OF MARCH 30th -APRIL 3rd

We are off to a good start for April. We had Lina's Celebration of Life on Tuesday and ate some delicious homemade apple cake and a type of creampuff pastry filled with chocolate or vanilla pudding.
We thought of a lot of “W” words and only a few words that started with “X”. For the week of April 6th we will be finishing the alphabet with “Y” and “Z”.
I'm sure with us starting our study of the green continent, Africa, that our friends should be able to think of some great words this week.
At lunch time we are talking about what foods are healthy and good for us, and that we should eat those foods first. We are also talking about which foods are okay in small quantities and those that should be eaten after the good-for-us foods. Some healthy choices we have talked about are soup, sandwiches with whole wheat bread, tacos, beans, carrots, broccoli, tofu, oranges, apples, strawberries, and yogurt. The foods that are okay in a small quantity or on occasion are chips, pudding and juices. Also, the children are opening their own lunches and would find it helpful if their lunches had either easy-open containers or plastic baggies that the food could be put in. The plastic baggies can be returned each day to be refilled. Some other easy-open reusable containers are used yogurt containers and screw-top containers.
