5 Tips
to Healthy Eating
and
Physical Activity
- Start you day with breakfast.
Breakfast fills your "empty tank" to get you going
after a long night without food. And it can help you do better in
school.
- Get fit with friends and family!
Encourage
others to join you and plan one special physical activity event, like
a bike ride or hiking, with a group each week
- Balance your food choices. You
don't have to give up foods like hamburgers, french fries and ice
cream to eat healthfully. You just have to be smart about how often and how much
of them you eat.
- Eat more grains, fruits, and vegetables. These
foods give you carbohydrates for energy, plus vitamins, minerals and
fiber.
- Snack Smart. Snacks are a great way to refuel. Choose snacks from different
food groups.
Joke of the Month:
Why aren’t elephant’s
allowed on the beach?
Because they let their trunks
down!!! J

Future
Inventors…
For the past week, the sixth graders have been
involved in the FIH (Future Inventors of Hilltop). Mr. Green, the high school science teacher at Super High,
has been coming to our class every Tuesday and Thursday, guiding the sixth
graders to become creative inventors.
Some of the projects invented include a new mode of
transportation, a new light source, and a plant that contains all the
vitamins and minerals a person needs.
Have
a safe and happy weekend!
