Classroom Learning
In health, we spent the last 2 days learning how to read nutrition labels and ingredient lists on packaged foods. We have learned about the % Daily Value, recommended servings, actual servings, order of ingredients, and how to use this information to correctly judge the amount of saturated and trans fat, sodium, types of sugar, fiber, iron, calcium, and other vitamins. Did you know that 5% DV is considered a little, and 15% DV is considered a lot?! We also learned about the many types of sugar, and the different names that identify the ingredient as sugar. Students were given some time to analyze several nutrition labels in class, and are now applying this knowledge to their healthy living assignment where they are asked to analyze a nutrition label from a healthy product, and one from an unhealthy product.
Challenge: Over the next week, take a look at the different packaged food products in your house. Look at the nutrition labels and ingredient lists to help guide you in deciding if the product is a healthy or unhealthy choice.
Art: Recently, students have completed a recreation of their landscape in the style of a Group of Seven artist. As a class, we created a bullseye rubric that would reflect our use of colour, value, space, and imitation of our chosen Group of Seven artist. Today, students partnered up with a peer and analyzed each other's work of art, using the rubric to help focus on different elements of art. They then decided on where they were on the rubric, circling it. They were then asked to write a reflection on their art, talking about what they thought they did well and what they could improve, what worked well and what didn't work well.
