PACK WEEK
McKinney ISD Health Services will be participating in our annual healthy eating initiative called PACK (Pack Assorted Colors for Kids) during the week of April 7th through April 11th.
The focus of PACK Week is to eat a wide variety of colorful fruits and vegetables, as each has its own nutritional benefit. Each day during PACK week has been assigned a different color, and we are asking you to help your child eat the color of the food for that day. All forms count: fresh food, dried food, canned food, or even 100% juice! It’s easy to eat more fruits and vegetables each day.
Don't have that color of food? NO problem! Here are some other ways to participate:
• Look a food up on the internet and discuss its benefits, texture and taste.
• Draw or color a picture of the food.
• Check out the PACK WEEK website for fun activity pages here.
• Wear the color for the day!

Our second graders were hard at work last week learning all about multiplication! They explored the concept of repeated addition and equal groups to master this important math skill. Keep up the great work, second graders!
Last week, our kindergarteners had an exciting time learning about data analysis and geography! They started by collecting data on their classmates' favorite ice cream flavors. After gathering the information, they created a picture graph and answered questions about which flavors had the most and least votes.
In social studies, we introduced the concept of geography by teaching that maps represent places. Whether it's a map of our school or a map of the United States, maps help us find locations and navigate the world. After reading books and viewing examples, the students drew their own maps, showcasing their understanding of how maps work.
It was a week full of discovery and creativity!
