Guest Speaker Topic: Get Healthy!

Obesity is a problem in this day and age. What do we need to do to solve this problem? Get Healthy! In a few days, Mr. Grasshopper will come to Bumble Bee Elementary and tell us all about the food pyramid and how to be healthy. Mr. Grasshopper is a health teacher form Honey Bee High School--you'll have him as a teacher if you go there! He's really funny and will make learning how to be healthy overall really exciting. If you want to learn about the food pyramid before he speaks, do this online activity where you can read about examples of healthy foods, and then take a quick quiz to find out how much you learnt. Good luck!


Explore the Food Guide Pyramid 


Also, check out this video clip about being healthy, featuring Wilt from Cartoon Network's Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends and NBA star Steve Francis.

Lesson Review: Name That Cloud

Yesterday, as part of our weather unit, the class learned about different types of clouds. See if you can remember the names of the clouds below! We'll have a quiz tomorrow reviewing the clouds, so make sure you study. Also, remember to log the high and low for today in your Temperature Log.

Match these names with the correct cloud picture:
Cirrus, Cumulus, Cumulonimbus, Stratus, and Nimbostratus


  





Great job! Now check out this site that shows you videos of wild, wild weather!

Homework: Continents and Oceans

Now that you know the different continents, label the different oceans on this map as well as all the continents. You can print it out if you lost the worksheet I gave to you. Also, feel free to use this blank map to practice labeling continents and oceans when you need to as a refresher!
