Yes, well, it was a busy day! This morning we had a visit from the tooth fairy! Actually, it was Darcie Thornburn who is our school's Tooth Tutor! She came to teach about the proper way to brush your teeth (I need to practice brushing correctly) and about the importance of flossing! Miss Darcie also showed the amount of sugar in four typical beverages: water, white milk, chocolate milk and juice...you'd be surprised how much sugar is in "healthy" juice. She also shared the danger of eating fruit gummies which have the same amount of sugar as gummy bear candies! Yikes!
Of course it just had to be today that I brought CANDY to school to share with the class!!! I was in Maine and although some of the kids asked for shells (way too cold for the beach), I stopped at the biggest candy store I've ever been to and they had candy in the shape of Legos! I brought a bag back and we shared them! Here are some pictures of the kids building before they ate them!
And finally, tomorrow night several of our faculty members are entered into a chili contest! Jeff O'Hara thought it might be a fun way to heat up a chilly winter evening! I've got chili on the stove warming up right now!!! Please feel free to stop by school around 5:00 for a sampling! I think the judging will begin around 5:00 as well! Bring a roll of Tums, too, just in case!
