It was great getting back to Oyler after such a long break! I think the kids were generally excited to see me- they were more excited about picking the paper out of the hat!
Many of us have New Year's resolutions to eat more nutritious meals or exercise more frequently. I felt that the lesson on hygiene and nutrition would be very appropriate for this time.
In general, I was very glad to see that many of the kids were eating well, going for regular visits to the doctor, and brushed their teeth. Of course they all had funny answers when I asked how often they should take a shower. Here are a few example answers: "Twice a day", "All of the time", "Never", and of course we finally discovered that once a day or every other day would be sufficient.
We also discussed the importance of brushing and flossing teeth. It is also important to visit the dentist for a check-up, although it can be scary.
I feel that the first week back went very well! The kids thought IT'S COOL TO TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES, and they know that WINNERS do too!
