This week we were very fortunate to have visits by two community helpers who came in to talk to students about their jobs. The first was Alderman Solis who came in to give the students some advice on making decisions for a community. To prepare for his visit, students learned about interviewing and practiced interviewing each other. They also came up with questions they had about an alderman's job. Alderman Solis shared with our students how important it is for someone in his position to always listen to the wants and needs of their community.
We also had a visit from Mrs. Gannon, a registered dietician. She talked to students about different food groups and being smart by thinking about which food groups your meal comes from. She also talked about how each group on My Plate (http://www.choosemyplate.gov) helps your body in a different way. The students loved her activities and the book she brought - Delicious by Helen Cooper.
