Today we have begun our final project for the year, "Is it Food?" We will be looking at all aspects of our food, from nutritional labels to best agricultural practices. Our first assignment will be to create a week-long food journal complete with 5 photos. This will be used to determine whether we are eating a balanced, well nutritious diet. I am also sending home a permission slip for the movie Food, Inc. It is a PG movie but it does contain some graphic images of animals in feed lots. Please sign and return the permission slip as soon as possible. We are planning on watching the movie as soon as we get permission slips signed.
In addition to our food project, we are still in the midst of STAR testing. We will continue to prepare for our math test next week. We will finish up the language arts test this Thursday. If your child feels nervous about the test, discuss with them their feelings. Having test anxiety is a sure way do not do as well! Sometimes simply talking with your child can help alleviate worry.
