Language / Health - Setting Goals for the Summer

Hello!

Since we are into the last weeks of school, I thought it would be good to start thinking about our summer goals.

Today's task is to brainstorm goals that you would like to accomplish this summer. Your goals should be realistic and fall into the following three categories:

academic goals
fitness goals
community goals (where you help someone in your house or neighborhood)

While brainstorming, also think about how you will accomplish your goals. Once you have a good idea of your goals and your method of reaching those goals, fill out the Google form below.

If you have any questions, comments or concerns, please email me at: justin.tessier@ed.amdsb.ca

Have a great day and take care,

Mr. T

Celebration Silhouettes

1. Trace each student's profile (head, neck, and top of shoulders) on the white sheet. It's probably best to be the tracer for your students.

2. Inside their head they will add their name (very large), pictures that represent them, then colour it. It looks great if they colour the entire inside. **The example above is missing the name of the student, but you get the idea.

3. Have them cut it out.

4. Glue onto black construction paper, with the white sheet lined up right along the bottom of the black paper.

5. Bring to rehearsal to hang up afterwards.

Food for Thought

Link to the Article

Link to the Food Guide

Read the article linked above and take a look at the Canada Food Guide link.

Imagine that you own a restaurant and you need to create a menu. Think of a type of restaurant and a name for your restaurant. Create three menu items for your restaurant that follow the Canada food guidelines. Which types of food are included in each meal? Was it challenging to make sure it was a balanced and healthy meal?
