What a great week for running! We took advantage of the warmer weather with lots running and other outdoor exercises. With our 3rd, 4th and 5th grade we encouraged the kids to keep track of their laps while running or walking. To help them keep count we handed each of them a rubberband to put around their wrist each time they ran a lap. Our 1st and 2nd graders did a great job in obstacle course drills and running or walking around the track.
We had a fun first kindergarten run club this Wednesday - they were all ready to go! We did obstacle course drills and walked or ran around the track at least 3 times!
Thanks kids for being good listeners.
Please remind your child to remember run club days: Tuesdays and Thursdays
Kindergarten - Wednesdays only.
We have many wonderful volunteers helping us each run club day. And, the children need to remember the rules are the same as when in school. So we ask them to please listen and respect their group leaders and our other helpers.
NUTRITION:
We learned about sugar and other sweeteners. Specifically, we learned about how sugar is processed from the sugar cane and the nutrients that are removed in the conventional process method which make white sugar and molasses as a by product. All or most of the nutrients goes into the molasses and any remaining nutrients left in the "white" sugar are removed - making regular white sugar an anti-nutrient! SO, it's important to limit sugar to very small amounts.
Lable reading - we will cover this more later in run club, but we talked about other sugars found in ingredient labels: Brown Sugar, High Fructose Corn Syrup, corn syrup, sugar, aspartame, sucralose (or splenda). We talked shere we find them and limiting ALL of these ingredients.
We sampled Agave Nectar and Raw Honey both a better for you sweetener that are great on cereals, pancakes, toast or in baked goods.
Great job!
