Nutrition April 22- 26

With the ice storm and no hydro at the beginning of the week I did not get a post on the website.  Here is a look back at last week:
Monday we made a quinoa salad as a group and did a taste test, we also watched a video on childhood obesity and how to counteract the problem.  Tuesday and Wednesday we studied vitamins and minerals and on Friday we did a "make your own" quinoa salad which was a huge hit.

Here is a look at this week:
Monday we will finish up trace minerals and watch a Jamie Oliver video, do a worksheet and take a look at the sugar epidemic
Tuesday we will continue with the topic of sugar if need be and look at processed food
Wednesday and Thursday I am not here and I hope to have healthy eating videos for you to watch and take notes from
Friday when I am back I hope we will cook, again a focus on healthy but quick and easy meal.

There are still a couple of you who need to write last Friday's test.  You will do this first thing on Monday.  I also need your fitness books to mark the three sheets you filled in after completing you second round of fitness tests.  Some of you who handed in your books did not have this finished.  I have indicated that in your books and asked you to resubmit.

Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday - Miss Carter has arranged for a Tai Chi instructor to come into our class.  Note you will need to change each day!

Thursday is the Literacy Test and there is no class.  I am supervising - maybe you will be in my room :)
