P.E. and HEALTH NEWS Something new is happening in the gym! Mrs. Tupper has been joining Mrs. Gee and 4th grade P.E. classes once a week for a Healthy Choices Unit. In six lessons we will explore the important connection between healthy eating and exercise. We have been brainstorming ways to add more movement to our daily lives and to make healthy food choices. Mrs. Tupper introduced us to the new Food Pyramid and food groups. We have been learning about nutrients, calories and the importance of adequate sleep. Check out the Nutrition and Exercise: A Balancing Act display in the gym. We are looking forward to examining food labels and learning about serving sizes. Meanwhile, everyone is getting lots of exercise with our basketball unit. We’re using calories (215 for every 30 minutes) while developing the skills of dribbling, passing and shooting. Favorite games include Double Dunker, Race to the Moon and Sideline Basketball. During the winter months, we are asking students to wear their boots and carry their sneakers when coming to P.E. class. This helps to keep the gym floor clean, dry and safe. Thank you for your help!

IL FAIT FROID! Il fait froid means “It is cold.” No one needs to be reminded! During these cold months, it is a great time to have a family reading project. Perhaps a great French author would be a good pick. Three important French authors have their birthdays in février (February). Jules Verne was born 8 février 1828. He wrote the great adventure books, Around the World in Eighty Days, 20,000 Leagues under the Sea, and Journey to the Center of the Earth. The legendary Charles Perrault, whose anniversaire is 12 février 1628 was the author of Contes de Ma Mère l’Oye or Mother Goose Tales, and he was the first to write and publish the world’s cherished fairy tales: Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Puss in Boots, and Little Red Riding Hood. The third birthday of a great author is that of Victor Hugo, 26 février 1802. Hugo is the author of Les Misérables and The Hunchback of Nôtre Dame. The extraordinary popularity of that novel brought about the restoration of the crumbling and neglected cathedral, and inspired many films and other stories. Help these cold winter evenings pass quickly by sharing with the whole family one of these wonderful books from France. This month we celebrate le jour de St. Valentin, le 14 février. There are many legends about how this holiday and its customs started, but we know it began long ago, as St. Valentine lived in the 3rd century. A pope in A.D. 496 named 14 février as St. Valentine’s Day. According to one legend, the custom of sending rhymes and love notes has its roots in French history. During the Battle of Agincourt in 1415 a Frenchman, Charles, Duke of Orléans, was captured and taken to England. His rhymed love letter to his wife from the tower of London is said to have been sent on Valentine’s Day, beginning the tradition of sending rhymes to sweethearts. The second and sixth graders got to enjoy un goûter last week. Un goûter is a snack or a small party with food. If they are from those classes, ask your children to say: Je voudrais de la baguette du fromage de la pomme de la confiture. I would like some French bread some cheese some apple some jam They should also use: S’il vous plait merci Please thank you

Monsieur Sir

Madame Ma’am

They all courageously tried brie, boursin, bleu and chèvre cheeses, and a few tried paté. Everyone loved les pommes and la baguette! Have a lovely février!
