The big news from Room 18 this week has been our trip to Safeway to buy groceries for the classroom! We did some work on the food groups, and we brainstormed ideas for our grocery trip. Thanks to a generous donation from Brown Bagging For Calgary's Kids, we have a classroom budget for snacks. This is an important life skill for Room 18 students--choosing nutritious food from many food groups. Additionally, we discussed the concept of a budget, then we narrowed down our choices based on how much money we had to spend. We walked to Safeway on Thursday, and purchased all of our items. We got to enjoy our wonderful food on Thursday and Friday, and we will finish the rest of our snacks next week. “We only had $25 in total, and it was $29. How we decided was that we got the favourite food that everyone liked. We got from our dairy group milk and margarine. And from the bread group, we got French bread, crackers, and macaroni and cheese. From our veggies and fruits group, we have gotten grapes and cherries and grapefruits.” –WBR “We got grapes and cherries and no vegetables. And that French bread was amazing!” –MB “We walked to Safeway and we had a good time there, and it was fun walking with Ms. R. The French bread was really good with butter.” –BM “When we had our food, though I did not like the bread, but I did like the grapes and had some milk. I learned that there has to be the right amount of money in order to buy something. But Ms. S. was really nice and let us pay $29 instead and gave them extra.” -CL “We were walking to Safeway to get healthy groceries.” -DM “Our budget was $25, and if we went over, we had to take something off. Ms. Spray was so nice that instead of $25, she did $29.” -MB Next week, we will be in the process of moving classrooms--we will no longer be Room 18. After this week, we will be Room 7!
