Winter Holiday Party

Thank you all for coming to the party today! You did a wonderful job of remembering to bring snacks, and you also did a wonderful job decorating. Please follow these few rules in addition to my normal rules:

Put backpacks out of the way

• No Popping Balloons or other Loud Noises (there are other classes that need it to be fairly quiet)
• No tablets (we are here to have a social party)
• No jumping or moving around quickly
• Don't take more food than you can eat, and don't touch food that you won't eat.

Health Final

Think about the Health. Think about many of the words you learned about health. Write a paragraph about "What does being Healthy mean?" Use as many of the words as you can in your paragraph.

Good luck!
