What's Cooking?

What's Cooking?

We had so much fun talking about food this week! We talked about healthy food and about junk food! We read tons of funny food books. I think our favorite was Ten Apples Up On Top! We tried to balance apples Up On Top of our heads too!



In Art on Monday/ Wednesday we painted with apples to go along with this book!


On Tuesday/ Thursday we sang the funniest song about if "I were a pizza!" We made this pizza craft and we ordered pizza for lunch. It was a huge hit!!
In Centers this week we worked on using scissors by clipping coupons!
We worked on our sorting skills by sorting noodles! We also worked on using small teaspoons to transfer sugar and corn meal!
We also worked with lots of food puzzles!
In our sensory table this week we had fresh veggies and pasta!!
It was a GREAT week!

Swine Flu

While there is no vaccine available right now to protect against swine flu, there are everyday actions that can help prevent the spread of germs that cause respiratory illness like influenza. Take these everyday steps to protect your health:

Clean your hands.Washing your hands often will help protect you from germs. Washing hands with soap and water for approximately 20 to 30 seconds (tell young children to sing the Happy Birthday song twice) will help protect your child from many different germs. When soap and water are not available, wipes or gels with alcohol in them can be used (the gels should be rubbed into your hands until they are dry).

Avoid close contact.Avoid close contact with people who are sick. When you are sick, keep your distance from others to protect them from getting sick too.

Stay home when you are sick.If possible, stay home from work, school, and errands when you are sick. You will help prevent others from catching your illness.

Cover your mouth and nose. Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing. It may prevent those around you from getting sick.

Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth.Germs are often spread when a person touches something that is contaminated with germs and then touches his or her eyes, nose, or mouth.
