We have been making self portraits, and we were divided in groups of two with one big mirror to share.
So we use a mirror and copy what we look like to make our self portraits more realistic!
We can also just draw it how we want it to be and be free with our portraits!
Today we learned to make nutrition bar graphs and this is how we did it: first we got our food diaries, then we wrote all the food we had for the five days and counted all the fruits,veggies,dairy products, cabohydrates,and protein that we wrote down. Then we put organized our data and made it all into a bar graph so we could see how much of the good food we need more of!

Good nutrition is especially vital to children because they are growing and developing, and their bodies need calories and nutrients to do it correctly. Because most kids are very active, they need the right amount of calories to have the energy to do all the things they like to do. Depending on their activity levels, caloric requirements vary widely for growing children, from 900 each day for a 1-year-old to 3,200 a day for an active teenage boy.
As kids’ bodies prepare for puberty and their activity levels increase as they get more involved in sports and school activities, their bodies need more fuel. Girls between the ages of 9 and 13 should consume 1,600 to 2,200 calories daily, and boys in this group need 1,800 to 2,600 calories every day. Like younger kids, this age group should get 10 to 30 percent of their calories each day from protein, 45 to 65 percent from carbohydrates, and 25 to 35 percent from fats.

A metaphor describes somthing by equating it with something else, often using the word “is’.
Example :bob is boiling
Anne is an angel.
We are learning wich kind of food is a “happy snacker” (healthy) and “sad snacker” (junk),which means we should have most of our fruits & vegetables everyday and less JUNK. But we should can have candy or junk once a week. We also know what group they go in like: Dairy,Grains, fruits & vegetables. And: Grow, Glow, Grow and go!
Like we said, we should eat the most of Fruits and vegetables.

This week’s spelling words are a review of some of the patterns we’ve learned this year, with a focus on the spellings (graphemes) for the /s/ sound (phoneme).
Our class is very excited about our upcoming excursion to the water plant next Thursday, May 12th. Transportation will be provided by the school, but we may need one additional truck/driver. Details will follow soon, along with a permission slip.
We will be living promptly at 8:15 and should be back by morning recess (10:15). Students will use this experience to supplement and compare what they have already learned in class about the water treatment cycle, as well as to seek answers to other inquiry questions they have.
Please email me at jamie_schwantes@fmi.com if you have any questions in the meantime.
