Probiotics and Antioxidants


Today Ms. Katie returned to our classroom and talked to the kids more about healthy food choices.  The kids enjoyed helping make frozen yogurt popsicles that we'll eat tomorrow during snack.  Katie briefly explained to the students how yogurt has probiotics in it that help the gut/belly stay healthy, and blueberries have antioxidants that are good for the brain and heart.  We didn't cover the fact that blueberries are considered a Superfood that lowers the risk of heart disease and cancer and are also an anti-inflammatory (a bit above the preschool understanding).  

The take-home message was that yogurt and blueberries are healthy food choices.

Southworth Park We've taken advantage of the beautiful weather that we've had over the past couple of Tuesdays and have hiked to Southworth Park for fun and adventures.  Ms. Beth, our outdoor educator, has built a fire with the kids, and we've made popcorn and hot chocolate. The kids have enjoyed digging in the dirt, finding worms, building fairy houses, playing tag and so much more.  It's always enjoyable to read books and eat snack up there too. A few of the second graders even joined us one day.
