Be Mine in the Summertime

Well hello everyone,

Today is August 14th, which means we are exactly six months from Valentine’s Day. Valentine’s Day is such a great time of year where you get to tell others how special they are to you. It got me thinking, why only tell people on February 14th? So I made a card for my parents to let them know how much I love them and how much I’ve enjoyed spending time with them this summer. I guess it’s more of a “just because” card, since it’s not Valentine’s Day, but when you’re halfway to Valentine’s Day, “just because” is a perfectly good reason for a card. Join in on the “Just Because” fun with these coloring and activity sheets!

Playing in the Park

Well hello everyone,

I love being able to spend time in the park. There is just so much to do! Want to have a picnic? Go to the park! Want to read a book under the shade of a tree? Go to the park! Want to run around with friends? Go to the park! You can ride your bike, play on the monkey bars, draw the beautiful scenery … the possibilities are endless! This month is Parks and Recreation Month, so make sure to go and enjoy your local park. Keep your eyes peeled, because you may run into a certain park-loving intestine while you’re there! Also, make sure and get your coloring sheet and activity sheet for today! Try taking it outside and to the park to complete!

Keep It Moving!

Well hello everyone,

I know the summer can often feel like it’s not just a break from school, but a break from life as well. No homework, spending all day playing outside, eating whatever you want … is what some people think summer is all about. But I’m here to tell you that you still need to eat your fruits and vegetables! Yes, I know it’s summer, but nothing can keep you inside like a stomachache from being a little, um, backed up. Your body needs fiber to keep you healthy, so be sure to grab an apple before you play for the day! Your body will surely thank you. While you are at it, you can also color apples with this fun coloring sheet!

Nuts about Beans (and Nuts)

Well hello everyone!

In case you haven’t heard, the Foods of the Month for April are nuts and beans. Nuts are a great food to snack on, especially when you’re watching some baseball. Just be mindful about the quantity you eat as they can disappear fast! And beans, well you can eat them as a side (green beans with your grilled chicken dinner), or a little snack (fresh edamame is a real treat). No matter how you eat ‘em, just make sure you do! Your OrganWise Guys will thank you! Make sure to get your coloring sheet and activity sheet for today!

Showed 'em and Told 'em

Well hello everyone,

I won’t keep you in suspense; my show and tell went great! It was all thanks to a quick pep talk from Hardy in the morning. He could see I was nervous and told me I had nothing to worry about. He said, “You know everyone in this room; we’ve all been friends all year. We’re not going to judge you, we just want to see the cool thing you brought in for the class.” I thanked him but said I was still nervous about messing up my speech. Hardy then told me that if I messed up I’d just be like every other person in that class, because every single person has messed up in school before. This made me feel so much better. When I got to the front of the class and looked at everyone, I realized how right Hardy was. I was looking at the faces of my classmates – the same faces I’d been looking at all year! This was nothing to get upset about so I didn’t! I even answered a few questions from the class, which I had not practiced. I think I’m ready to give a speech to run for president now! Well, maybe just school president … baby steps. Make sure and get your coloring sheet and activity sheet for today!
