Welcome to Food and Nutrition!

We will spend the semester looking at nutrition, Canada's Food Guide, body image, why we eat what we do, food trends, research in food and nutrition, family food practices and the World Food Supply.

But.....first - a few jobs to accomplish

1. Working on being a member of a group - as we will spend a great deal of time in our cooking groups

2. Cleaning up the kitchen and putting new dishes and equipment away.  It has been 5 years since there has been a nutrition class and the kitchen needs lots of work.

JANUARY 22 SNOW DAY UPDATE PAF 20

Today is a great day to be active - since it is so cold with the wind chill I would not advise going outside for a long period of time - you can still do some indoor core work or even a circuit.  If you have wii fit  - challenge someone at home to a game.

Reminder:
YOUR FINAL EVALUATIONS FITNESS PORTFOLIOS ARE DUE TOMORROW

We will continue with fitness presentations tomorrow and hope to get most of them done.  On THursday we will finish any that are still left to do and remember that you have your reflection to write that day as well.  Then as I mentioned we will go to the arena to skate from approximately 2-3 pm.

YOU NEED SKATES AND A HELMET.

If you have extra skates or a helmet at home please bring them for someone who might not have any.  IF you would prefer to walk or run on the indoor track or use the exercise bikes that would be fine too

PAF 20 Final Post

We have 4 days left together - hard to believe!

Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday you will be doing your individual presentations - we drew numbers for the order of presentations and you drew what part of the body you will teach me about.  Know the names of the muscles and prepare 2 exercises plus a warm up or cool down.  You need to remember to indicate the safety concerns and if there sill be any equipment involved.
