Nutrition Ideas
I'm not dead! Just thought I should start with that since I've been MIA for so long. Here are a few things we've been doing in our class focusing on our topic Food and Nutrition.
Found these pizza slice boxes in the back of a cabinet and decided to use them to make pizza. We added a little red paint to some glue to make the sauce, sprinkled on the cheese (shredded paper) and glued on pepperoni. Easy and fun!
Here is a great chart that my center purchased. It came with all the food cards sort. We put up pictures of the ones we ate for breakfast and lunch in this photo.
2 different graphs we made this week- favorite fruit and favorite vegetable. I liked doing the horizontal and vertical graph so that the children can see just a couple types of the many graphs there are. They get the opportunity to count, compare, and talk about more than and less than. Plus it is about them, so they had a good time. They were really anxious to see which fruit/veggie "won."

Easy Banana Popsicles with No Added Sugar!
Here is a little Summer concoction I came up with upon discovering that my son is BANANA CRAZY! It's very simple. All you need is:
1 1/2-2 Bananas
1/2 cup of orange juice
Blend together (with blender or food processor), pour into these handy dandy popsicle molds, and freeze.
They are really very yummy! You can of course use any type of popsicle mold, just vary the amount of the ingredients you need to use. I actually only used 1 banana and it wasn't enough to fill this whole container.
You can also add other fruits to make various flavors. I would recommend strawberry, pineapple, or mango.

Thinky Linky Thursday: Let's Move!
We are beginning to prepare for the long cold winter, knowing there will be plenty of days the weather keep us from going outside. So, we have been coming up with some indoor gross motor activities. Here are some posters that we use to show children how to do different exercises that not only get them moving, but thinking as well.
Also, you can get a couple small cube-shaped boxes and make large dice with the exercise on each side and have the children roll it to see what they get. Another die could have numbers on it which will be the amount of times the will do the exercise that is rolled.
Here are also a couple good online resources dealing with gross motor play and healthy eating for preschoolers:
