Bulletin February 2, 2021

Students:
 
Harvest of the Month:
This Week students will get the chance to taste Dinosaur Kale from Higareda Family Farm.  Kale is an excellent source of vitamins A, C, and K-over 50 percent of recommended daily allowances for each.  It is also a good source of B vitamns, calcium, copper, fiber, iron, manganese , vitamin E , and is rich in antioxidants.  As a member of the Brassica family, kale is a cousin of cabbage, broccoli, and Brussels sprouts.  Kale originated in the Eastern Mediterranean as early as 2000 BCE.  It was one of the plants Thomas Jefferson recorded in his 1777 garden at Monticello.
 
 
Magnolia's yearbook is a student-produced publication where students are responsible for taking the photos, writing copy, and working in the desktop publishing software to finalize the yearbook pages. Students learn journalistic techniques and skills through the publication of the school yearbook. The final product is over 50 pages, full color, hardcover yearbook full of wonderful memories.

Physical Education: Students are going to develop their physical abilities through a movement oriented program. There will not be in-person instruction but rather only distance learning physical education.  We will gain the benefits of physical activity and developing healthy habits together virtually through their Google Classroom.

Google Classroom

This is where you will see the syllabus, assignments, activities, videos and communication.  Students can access this through their google email and going to the waffle (google applications). Please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Griffin through google classroom or email [email protected]. Physical Activity Log (PAL): There will be an activity log put into google classroom and will also be available in hard-copy in the school office.  The PAL will be worth the majority of your grade.  25 Points for each weekly log. See attached. Students will be required to participate in moderate-vigorous exercise for at least 30-40 minutes five days a week. This will vary between required workouts posted in google classroom and student’s choice.
