Body Image:You are Beautiful   
Last week we began learning about body image and the effects the media has on the way we see ourselves. We did an activity where the students stood in a circle and had to create their own dance using the number of syllables in their names. The children had a wonderful time using dance to express who they are.

This week we will continue working on how we see ourselves. We will be doing the Positive Body Image Script -Commercial:We Come in All Shapes and Sizes and recording it so the children can see themselves on television.

Insulin is necessary for the body to be able to use glucose energy.when you eat food,the body breaks down all the sugar into glucose.

One of the danger of eating too much fast food is that it can make you sick and that you can get addicted to it.It can make you very fast plus you want a healthy body.You die from eating that. If we go to a fast food resturant and want to make a healthier choice,you can pick a salad without dressing,fruit salad,check how many calories are the per serving.This is how you can make a healthier choice while at a fast food resturant.

by Daisy on March 5, 2009 @ 3:09 pm

The danger of eating fast food is that you can get obese and you can get overweight. do you want an ugly body? Also i think that if u get fat people will make fun of u . We can get a salad without dressing and you can get a yogurt. If you go to burger king u can get a veggie burger that will be very good choice. u can also if u go to Mcdonalds u can get apple dippers that will be a good choice do u know.

Instead of having a mighty kids meal with double cheese burger, McDonalds could have a mighty kids meal with healthier.Something like some salad without the chicken strips.And instead of a soda or juice, they could have more water.

super size me   

by Nicholas on April 7, 2009 @ 4:27 pm

what I think is that you have to eat onec a week and you should eat more home cook meals and that the man could die from eatting all that junk food .So the man mess up his body he was 185 pound then he wiegh 205 pounds I think that he should make a big deal about will he get fat or not if it means that his life is going to kill him. Also he should not super size it if it going to get sick.

by Khalil on April 21, 2009 @ 4:15 pm

mcdonalds are bad because their food are so salty and are half way cooked,and you can get obese and real sick.

mcdonalds /super size me!!   

by Leslie on April 21, 2009 @ 4:24 pm

The super size meal causes to much colestrol,diabetes,and also death because if you eat only mcdonalds and you only order super size meals your going to gain weight your blood sugar is going to go low and sometimes you could get a heart attact.
the super size meal soda that they put in a cup is a whole liter of soda.TO MUCH SUGAR,TO MUCH GREESE,AND GAINING WEIGHT.

Make a healthy choice!   

by Sharon on April 21, 2009 @ 4:30 pm

You should make a healthy choice and pick salads.Eatting to much of fast foods can have youy at risk for having a heart attack.It can also give you the body fat you dont want if you eat it all most every weeek!

Emlen Students showing respect for their community!   
Emlen Students made a pledge never to litter again after a long discussion about respecting their community. The students also spent the day picking up trash around their school. When asked about the trash and litter on his block, Ahmir Huddleston age 8, said "it makes me feel icky and unhealthy". With a new found pride in how their community looks the Emlen students want to clean up around the school every week, and never litter again.

The 3 R’s? A Fourth Is Crucial, Too: Recess   
NYT: http://www.nytimes.c...ess&st=cse

The best way to improve children’s performance in the classroom may be to take them out of it.

Should schools make recess and outdoor time a bigger priority for children? Join the discussion.
Go to Well »

New research suggests that play and down time may be as important to a child’s academic experience as reading, science and math, and that regular recess, fitness or nature time can influence behavior, concentration and even grades.

A study published this month in the journal Pediatrics studied the links between recess and classroom behavior among about 11,000 children age 8 and 9. Those who had more than 15 minutes of recess a day showed better behavior in class than those who had little or none. Although disadvantaged children were more likely to be denied recess, the association between better behavior and recess time held up even after researchers controlled for a number of variables, including sex, ethnicity, public or private school and class size.

The Super Star Kids Healthy Community Restaurant at EducationWorks   
Talk about fine dining and Friday afternoon fun- The Super Star Kids Healthy Community Restaurant was an extraordinary display of young talent, creativity and excitement about healthy eating. It was a delightful event full of BHC students, after-school students, administrators, teachers, staff and parents. First we were amazed and informed by the informative performance and BHC song. Then we all were challenged to excercise with the BHC group. Afterwards we had the opportunity to eat great healthy dishes while conversing with each other. It was a great way to enjoy a Friday afternoon. Way to go Kindergarten and 1st grade BHC stars- You did it again; and we are very proud of you!

Students from the Vaux Building Healthy Communities Program participated in the 14th Annual Greater Philadelphia Martin Luther King Day of Service at Temple University, Liacouras Center. The students, under the tutelage of Kathy Washington and Britney Hand, prepared healthy snack bags for distribution. The students also challenged participants to pledge to drink 56 oz. or water a day. More that 120 people took the challenge. They were given a bottle of water to which they affixed a signed pledge label.

Group Posters   
I think the Blue group did a terrific job with their poster of foods they plan to eat next week. It was very colorful and had very healthy food. To everyone in class, do you think these are good selection of foods to eat, or do you think some foods are missing? What food groups are not represented in the poster?
