Nutritious Breakfast in Ganon

As a culmination to our unit on nutrition, the Ganon classes came to school in their pajamas on Tuesday and enjoyed a nutritious breakfast which included foods from all the different food groups from the food pyramid.  They even used juicers to make their own fresh-squeezed orange juice!  They used the placemats they made showing the food pyramid on one side, and the correct way to set a place setting on the other side.

At the end of the day, the lights were turned off and the children curled up on the floor to watch a short movie.  We wish every day could be Pajama Day!!

Ganon Aleph Doctors Teach Us About Our Bodies

As part of our study of the human body, Dr. Horowitz (Amira's mom) came to talk to the children about their eyes. She showed us diagrams of the eyes and spoke about how to take care of them. She also reminded the children not to run around with sharp objects! On Thursday, Dr. Borgen (Ezra's dad) came to talk to us about our hearts. He showed us a heart which didn't pump properly because of a blocked artery, and then we saw Ezra's healthy heart in an ultrasound. He then explained to the children how important healthy food and exercise are for keeping our hearts healthy.
