We have been talking about nutrient dense foods and empty calories. Through a class discussion the day after Halloween we were left with some big questions:<br />
<div>
1. How much candy do most kids collect while Trick or Treating? </div>
<div>
2. How much sugar is in all of that candy?</div>
<div>
3. Do younger or older kids receive more candy and why might that be? </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We sent out an online survey and collected responses for four days. The survey reached several different families with data tracked from 40 kids collections. </div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAnyPShB-HZKPonOpTH843VXBWkZkt0fEQ0buqPyRMTnM8xbfGSB0_KEmC3XsXLo59MiM58_vg8plLHgqW28lEFiOgw4TvQLFXECepUmxRKfJDSyhVzsXH-GAKvyAN9q40n3Qtl_evOao/s640/blogger-image-620858935.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAnyPShB-HZKPonOpTH843VXBWkZkt0fEQ0buqPyRMTnM8xbfGSB0_KEmC3XsXLo59MiM58_vg8plLHgqW28lEFiOgw4TvQLFXECepUmxRKfJDSyhVzsXH-GAKvyAN9q40n3Qtl_evOao/s640/blogger-image-620858935.jpg" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div>
From the data we realized that the average child collects 104 pieces of candy. The younger children (8 and under) only collected 72 pieces on average. However, the older kids (9+) received more than double that with 145 pieces of candy. The girls concluded that the difference might be in part to older kids trick or treating for a longer period of time. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>But really how much sugar is that??? </b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
Our next big question was a little harder. We had to figure out the average sugar content of Halloween candy (9.4grams). The numbers were shocking! We measured out the sugar to see what that much sugar looked like.</div>

Note that a single fun size candy bar contains 9.4 grams of sugar and though numbers vary, the max amount of daily sugar intake is around 25 grams. </div>

Students in 8th grade have been learning about nutrition. We have been talking about the amount of sugar in candy and eating empty calories. Through this we came up with a big question... How much candy does the average kid bring home on Halloween? The even bigger question is how much sugar is in all of that candy? </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We would love if you could help us answer this question by filling out this survey. We encourage having your child help tally the numbers. What a great time for a family talk about eating sugars in moderation. </div>

We review the 8 different categories that athletics/sports might fall into and how they are classified.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After learning about these classification we explore our creative side by creating our own games. This is a fun unit where students work in a small group to create a fun unique game. It must be different than any other game and they must be able to identify what category the game would fall into. </div>

We have been outside exploring the world around usand finding new ways to be active. Our lower elementary students (K-2) went on a pine cone hunts earlier this week. After hiking to the hoop house we raced all over for 5 minutes finding as many pine cones as we could. We observed them to see if all of the cones were the same and what types of differences they had. The 1st and 2nd graders picked 10 cones and arranged them in order of size. Both groups were able to demonstrate their over-hand throwing skills with a pine cone toss at the end of class. <br />

They provided us with 5 in school portable bowling lanes. Students in grades 5-8 were able to learn about the history and rules of this ancient sport. (Did you know that bowling has been around since 5200 BC?) They also learned how to use proper form, bowling terms and of course how to score by hand. Our 5th and 6th graders were able to directly apply this information on their PE field trip. <div>

We have done so much in the last month. One of our favorite activities involved playing with balloons. The 2nd grade class worked on perfecting their volleying skills by practicing with balloons. Due to their slower fall students have a chance to get prepared for the balls approach. We worked individually, with a partner and as a full class(2 teams). </div>

Jump Rope for Heart was a blast at all ages! We had students from Kindergarten to Eighth Grade learning different skills appropriate to their age levels. Our students worked hard to collected over $2,300 for the American Heart Association. Thank you for all of your support and here is a small sampling of what we learned during our jump rope unit. </div>

Our 7th and 8th graders learned about a winter sport that is sweeping through the Grand Traverse Region. Curling is a sport that has been around for hundreds of years. However, the TC Curling Club has recently brought this fun sport to our region. We were so excited to partner with this club for our Curling Field Trip. Our students also did some research about the sport prior to our trip.</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">During November and December our 1st and 2nd graders worked on gymnastics.

It was very exciting to have the opportunity to go on a field trip to the Grand Traverse Gymnastics Center so we could apply what we had been learning in class. Here are a few pictures of what we did...<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 16px;"> </span></span></div>
