Henry Grew Elementary School Visit

On June 28, 2011, I visited the Henry Grew Elementary School. I spoke to the kindergarten children about summer camps and fitness programs. We discussed the five food groups as well as the various types of nutritious foods that keep the body healthy. Afterward I read them the book Moving Up: From Kindergarten to First Grade by Chuck Solomon. Each of the children told me what he/she had learned in kindergarten and what he/she expected in first grade. I was so impressed by their communication skills and their ability to express their ideas. They were respectful of me as well as one another. We concluded the day with taking group photos and playing games outside. I want to thank the Kindergarten Teacher Ms. Dianne Hays and the Paraprofessional Ms. Kimberly Isadore for letting me speak and interact with their class. I also want to thank the kindergarten children for welcoming me to their school and taking an interest in improving their health as well as that of their peers.
