Food Storage / Morning Folders

My students all arrive at different times in the morning, which makes it very difficult to teach a class before their breakfast is served.  For the past 2 year I have been having the students write a morning message, since it can be done in their own time as they arrive.  It contains the date, the weather, what we plan to do that day and than a note on what we will be doing tomorrow.  I am not sure how much my students are really gaining from this, so I have decided to put together morning notebooks for next year.  Now that I have started I see that this will be more work than I had anticipated.  Each morning should start out with the students logging the weather and temperature than doing a worksheet/activity from the folder.  Mondays they will have to log the weekly schedule into the monthly calendar which will be placed in the front of their folders.  I hope to have a quarters worth of pages ready at a time.  So far I am thinking, Mondays - newspaper skills, Wednesdays -morning warm up, (which I posted a week ago), and Fridays - money math. Now to fill in the other two days!  I will be posting things as I create!

Here is one on food storage.  I tried to pick common grocery items that our kids would have knowledge of.  Maybe Tuesdays will be food/health/nutrition?

  19. If you have diabetes, it's important that you adjust both your lifestyle and your diet by learning which diabetic foods to avoid. Diabetes is a condition caused by a lack of insulin production within your body which is normally created by your pancreas. This is an important function since it's responsible for turning your glucose into energy. If you're diabetic, then you need to pay particular attention to your eating habits and try to eat foods that have high amounts of fiber and are low in fat. If you can, you should also avoid carbohydrates as they are not recommended for people with diabetic friendly chinese food
