Students have started the 5-a-Day/Steps to Healthy Living program for fitness and nutrition. Each student is encouraged to take 4,000 steps during school hours every day. Pedometers have been provided, and will be checked in and out for the next few days. After the completion of the program, students will get to keep the pedometers so they can continue their fitness regimen on their own. In addition, we are tracking the amount of fruits and vegetables being eaten every day. Students should eat about five servings per day to maintain good nutrition.

We are beginning to work on projects for this June's Science Fair. Many projects will take considerable time, so get started early (parents, look for the packet)! Some supplies, like construction paper, may be requested if needed and available. Most of the work on these projects will be done at home, so be sure to set aside some time and space to work on it. Some students may be working in pairs or small groups, so make sure you exchange phone numbers and meet after school or on the weekend to to work on it.

Finally, we resume STAR testing on Wednesday and Thursday. The next two sections will be on math, so make sure you practice your math skills. Get a good night's sleep and a healthy breakfast so you can be sharp for the test. Make up exams will be given next week.
