Food, food and more food

Today, even though our county is off because of Tropical Storm Fay, St. Anne's Academy was still in session!

Today's focus was on food - how much food we need to eat, the types of food we need to eat to be healthy, and comparing that to what an athlete needs to eat. We also talked about how we need to exercise to stay healthy as well.

Brian and Sean colored in a food pyramid while we talked about the different food groups. Later, Chris "quizzed" them and asked them to come up with food items for each of the different food groups. We are also tracking what the boys are eating today to see how they are doing with getting all of the right amounts of food in their bodies. Tomorrow we will review how we did today and see where they need - since I know what they eat already I can tell you they are not going to "pass"!

The boys divided their wooden foods into the different food groups, and later today we are going to play a game on My Pyramid.gov.
