It's cold outside, but not in First Grade! First Graders enjoyed hot chocolate as they practiced their math facts during "Marshmallow Math" today!
There has been a Winter Weather Advisory issued for areas that include Whitebead Schools. Teachers should have prepared students in the event we have to have any virtual learning. A final determination will be made this evening about school tomorrow. We will communicate that decision when it's made.
Healthy Diets = Strong Bones
Did you know that eating a healthy diet is crucial for maintaining strong bones? Nutrients like calcium, vitamin D, and magnesium play vital roles in bone health, helping to prevent conditions such as osteoporosis and fractures. Incorporating a variety of fruits, vegetables, dairy products, and whole grains into your meals can significantly contribute to your bone strength and overall well-being. Healthy Schools Oklahoma has a few lessons you can watch together to get the conversation started! Visit their YouTube page here: January Health Lessons
