Editor's Notes
- #2 Today we are going to learn about the Berenstain Bears – Mama, Papa, Sister and Brother. You all have a book – The Berenstain Bears and Too Much Junk Food. Let’s start with the cover. You can see the Bears eating. We all need to eat everyday because food gives us energy and we need energy to walk, talk and to think. Just as when you put gas in a car to make it run, we have to feed our bodies. But the Bears are eating the wrong foods and Mama is going to help them to make good choices on what foods are best for Papa, Sister and Brother. Look at the cover of the book. What are Papa, Sister and Brother doing? What are they eating? None of the foods they are eating are healthy foods like fruit, vegetables or dairy. They are eating junk food. Look at Mama. Does she look angry? What do you think she will say to the Bears?
- #3 Let’s take a picture walk through our book. Let’s look at the pictures. What happened when Mama saw that the bears were eating too much junk food? She saw that her bears, sister and brother were getting a little chubby and their clothes were getting too tight. She took all the junk food and put it away in the freezer and high in the cupboard. All food turns into energy, even junk food. If you don’t exercise enough every day you don’t need all that energy. The energy you don’t use has to go somewhere and so your body saves it. Your body takes that energy and turns into fat. And so, that is how you put on weight and get chubby. What happened when Mama saw that Papa was eating too much junk food? Papa bent over and ripped his pants because they were too tight. He was getting chubby, too. She put his junk food away, too. Everyone like junk food, even grown ups. Junk food is something you can eat once in a while but not every day. Papa was eating junk food every day.What happened when the Bear family went grocery shopping with Mama? They filled their grocery cart with healthy foods like fruits, vegetables, chicken and whole grains. Fruits and vegetables are very healthy foods for your body. Fruits and vegetables are filled with vitamins and minerals and other good things that help you grow and stay in good health. Meats like chicken, fish and lean beef are filled with protein to build your muscles and keep your body working. But beans, eggs and Whole grains give you the energy to run, play and think.
- #4 This is a picture of what your plate should look like. The red triangle is how much of your plate should hold fruit. You can eat apples or applesauce, pears, berries, peaches, plums, melons. They are all so good, sweet and juicy. The green triangle shows how much vegetables you should have. How about some baby carrots, or celery sticks. Do you like corn or broccoli? No? Have you ever tried them? Next time take a bite or two. You may like vegetables more than you know. Think about how good they are for you. The purple shows the protein (meat, fish, chicken, beans, eggs) you should eat. Did you know that nuts, beans and eggs are a good way to eat protein? What is your favorite meat? Do you like fish? Tuna fish is a good choice. The brown triangle shows how much whole grains you should eat. Whole grains are whole wheat bread or tortillas, whole wheat flatbread, brown rice, quinoa. These food will give you energy to play and study. They help your brain work better, too. The blue circle shows you how much dairy you should have. Who here likes yogurt? What about milk or chocolate milk? Do you love cheese? These are all dairy. Think about this plate every day and try to fill it up with good healthy foods.
- #5 Whom did the Bear family meet at the grocery store? They met their doctor, Dr. Grizzly who saw their grocery cart filled with good healthy foods. Dr. Grizzly was happy that the Bears were eating healthy foods, especially Papa and she invited the whole family for a visit the next day.What did the Dr. show to the Bear children the next day at her office? Dr. Grizzly showed the Bear children an X-ray of their body. She showed them how their body worked and how important it was to eat good foods, like fish, chicken, lean meat, fruits, vegetables and whole grains. What happened when the bears began eating healthy food and began to exercise? At first the Bears were not happy with eating snacks of carrots, celery and unsalted popcorn. But after a while, they began to like them. The carrots and celery were sweet and crunchy and the popcorn was just as good without salt. They formed a new habit, eating healthy. Even Papa got used to eating healthy snacks. Their clothes were not as tight as they had been and they were feeling full of energy. The good food was working. Then they began to exercise, they ran every day. Mama entered them into the Bear Country Marathon and they trained every day. While they didn’t win the race, they were the only family to finish the race. (And now each student will read their book on their own as the instructor goes from desk to desk listening to the students read aloud. When everyone is finished, they will pair up and read a page at a time to each other. The instructor will pair up with the weakest reader. The class will move on to the comprehension check when all are finished.)
- #6 Do you know who the lady is in back of the children? It’s our First Lady, Michele Obama. Mrs. Obama is very interested in making sure America’s children are healthy. She loves to exercise and she wants children to learn to love exercise, too. You need to turn off the TV and get outside and play. Find a friend and throw a ball around the park or the backyard. Get some friend together and play a game of basketball. Learn to jump rope. Get outside and play in the snow. Video games and computer games are fun but running, jumping and playing are fun too. The more you exercise, the stronger your body will get. You will feel better, too. Video games like the WEE ,Xbox connect or play station move are nice and do provide a little exercise but it is a substitute for real outdoor playtime.
