IT'S VIRTUAL FIELD DAY WEEK!!!!!

• You are competing as a grade level (not a class) against all of the other grade levels at Newfield.                                               
• Whichever grade level submits the most Week 12 Virtual Field Day Activity Logs by the end of the week . . . WINS! Only one entry per person is permitted. Your activity log is your ticket to winning Newfield's 1st EVER Virtual Field Day!                                                              
• Google Classroom Users: You must submit a Week 12 Virtual Field Day Activity Log (only one entry per person) to be counted in your grade level's total. If you click to mark your work as done/turn in your assignment, but do not turn in the activity log, it will NOT count toward your grade level's total.                                                                                              
• The Week 12 Virtual Field Day Log will open for responses at 7:55 a.m. on Monday, June 8th. The Virtual Field Day Log will close for responses on Friday, June 12th at 3:00 p.m.                                                                  
• Don't forget to check out your team color (each grade level has their own team color!)                                                                                                         
• You are about to make HISTORY this week! So ...who's game!?

Health Lesson: K-5 

GO...SLOW...WHOA! 

Since we are all spending a lot of time in our homes, it's important that we are aware of the foods and drinks we are putting into our bodies each and everyday. We learned in last week's Health lesson about the Five Food Groups and Portion Sizes, and why it's so important to know how each food group (in the right quantities) fuels your body!

Watch this short video from Ilaria St. Florian, MS, RD. Miss Ilaria is the Manager of the KIDS' FANS nutrition program that is offered to our 3rd graders each year at all of the Stamford Public Schools. She is graciously offering additional health lessons in the form of short videos to all of our students during our Distance Learning time. This video is all about foods/drinks that are healthy and come from the Earth ("GO" foods). foods/drinks that are slightly modified from their original form ("SLOW" foods), and foods/drinks that are not so healthy and should be eaten and enjoyed in moderation ("WHOA" foods). Listen to this neat video and learn more about how the foods you choose and their portion sizes are so important for lifelong health and establishing good eating habits. 

Remember to log your activities into your Weekly P.E. Activity & Health Log and submit it to Mrs. Spinner and Mrs. Iacono no later than 3:00 p.m. on Friday!
