Nutrition is one of the most complicated things that we have to decide in our daily life.
There are many choices for us every time we feel hungry, every time we enter the cafeteria, kitchen or store.  Sometimes we make the right choice, and other times we just eat whatever we want.

So, as we have discussed during Food Day and our Affairs of the Heart celebration, we must make good choices in abundance and poor choices in moderation.  Let's face it, no one will expect you to totally surrender cheese pizza, Lucas, or Sour Patch Kids completely from your diet.  But, it's reasonable to expect you to limit those things on a daily basis or even a weekly basis.

The website listed above offers us a good deal of resources and activities to help explain the importance of healthy living, healthy eating and proper exercise.

Jacks Snacks


Jack was hungry after school. He made himself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Jack decided to have a drink and a treat with his sandwich. The drinks that were in the refrigerator were water, milk, and orange juice. The treats were potato chips, pretzels, and apples. How many combinations of drinks and treats can Jack make to go with his sandwich?

Use the chart in the space below to list the combinations of drinks and treats Jack can have with his sandwich. Each combination can only have one drink and one treat in it.

Mr. Frisch will pass out a chart for you to help keep the possible combinations organized.

Root Words, Prefixes, Suffixes

1. Root words are an essential part of our language and communication.  These important words represent the patterns and connections between things we say each and everyday.  A quick example is the word mico, which means smalls.  So words such as microscope, microphone, microcosm all indicate something small.

2. Math

This is the same chart that you will receive on the day of the Math STAAR test.

We have used similar reference charts in the past to help learn about the process of converting one amount to another.
Conversion of numbers and figures is essential for adding, subtracting, multiplying or dividing similar numbers.

Remember that you can only subtract gallons from gallons, or multiply quarts by quarts.
When the problem presents you with 2 yards, but asks you to add that amount to 14 feet, you know that you have to change the yards to feet so that the addition problem is possible.

Let's practice!!

Problem 1

Wilson is learning to play the piano and he plays a lot of short songs that are 120 seconds long.  If he place 10 of these songs everyday, how many minutes is he practice each day?


Problem 2

Charlie is learning to skateboard and he practices Monday, Wednesday and Friday every week.  Imagine if he did this every single week for an entire year. How may total days of practice would that be for the year?


Problem 3

Phillip has to serve 8 ounces (oz) of grape juice to each of his 10 little cousins.  How many cups of grape juice will he need to purchase?

Now that he knows the amount of cups he will need to purchase, can you figure out  how many pints he would need?


Problem 4

Brenda purchases 4 yards of ribbon to make bows for her granddaughters.  If each bow takes 2 feet of ribbon, how many bows will she be able to make?


Problem 5

Brian is buying hamburger for his family picnic.  If he buys 5 pounds of hamburger, how many ounces (oz) will he have?

If he makes hamburgers that take 4 ounces (oz) of meat each, how many hamburgers will he be able to make?


Problem 6
Sara buys a toy that weighs 23 grams. How many milligrams does the car weight?

Idioms

1. Idioms

Idioms are fun expressions that we use everyday.  When we make an idiom, we take a familiar part of our daily speech and use it in a silly, awkward or odd way.  For example, a common idiom where I grew up is to "my ears are burning." We're all familiar with our ears, we know what they are for, we know what they do, we know how they look and we know where they are placed on the human body. However, it wouldn't be a particularly good thing if our ears were actually on fire. 

So what does this idiom really mean.  It means that our ears are alert, attentive and attuned to receive some important news.  We are so excited inside and so hunger to hear the news that we say, "my ears are burning."  It sounds pretty simple, logical and sill all at the same time; that's the beauty of an idiom.
