Ladybugs, Beetles and Ants for a Snack?

This year the University of Missouri Extension Eating from the Garden program visits our class twice a month.  Ms. Betsy comes to our class to teach us about gardening and eating fruits and vegetables.

Today Ms. Betsy brought Chef Chris with her.  Chef Chris taught us how to make tasty ladybugs made from apples, blue berries, grapes, and cream cheese.  She then taught us how to make a beetle out of a strawberry, grapes, and a little bit of chocolate.  Chef Chris also taught us how to make ants on a log out of celery, cream cheese, and raisins.

We had so much fun!  Thank you Chef Chris and Ms. Bestsy for spending time with us.!

It's Time for Some Fire Safety!

This week at SVN the third grade is learning about fire safety.  Today the Kansas City Fire Department came to SVN and gave the students a lesson over fire safety.  The KCFD brought their fire safety house and taught the students about the importance of having a fire escape route and working smoke alarms.

In the fire safety house students got to experience escaping a smoke filled room.  They learned to drop to the ground and crawl to safety.   Everyone is very excited about making a fire escape plan and checking their smoke alarms at home.

Food Power!

This year SVN took part in the University of Missouri Extension Food Power program.  Students went to different stations in the gym and learned about different body parts and how those body parts helped us with digestion.
