STAR testing week is the perfect time to get the kids out of the classroom and outside having fun. Luckily, testing week also happens to be TV Turn-Off Week and the week we celebrate the Nutrition Olympics. With help from the Network for a Healthy California, we were able to participate in activities such as raisin picking, the pepper toss, supermarket shopping relay, coconut bowling, the carrot hop, cucumber javelin and the lettuce dribble. The students and mentors had a wonderful time, evident by lots of smiles and laughs. I would have never imagined that you could keep primary students entertained by throwing raisins and sunflower seeds onto the grass and tell them to find as many as they can. Overall it was a fantastic event and our students learned to eat more fruits and vegetables and to stay away from high sugar drinks!!
Enjoy the pictures!
