Physical Eddie's Adventure in Mr. P's Class!



Dear North Parkers,
     I'm Physical Eddie and I have been hanging out with Mr. P's students for the past two weeks.
     In Math, students helped me solve division problems.  I also got to play a game called "Buzz".  I didn't win but everyone in class encouraged me to keep at it.  Right after Math I had some dry roasted edamame for a snack.
     In Science, we've been working with sodium polyacrylate.  They use it to make super absorbent diapers.  This week we were trying to figure out if the amount of water used affects the flow rate.  For my afternoon snack I had a delicious honey crisp apple.
     In Social Studies the class has been following the Presidential race.  We have been reading about the Electoral College and putting together a list of pros and cons for each candidate.  All this talk about politics really made me hungry, so for a snack I had a nutritious power bar.
    I had a blast traveling with the class to all their specials.  In PE class we are learning how to problem solve and work together!  We played a game called Moon Ball.  It was really fun!  I've really enjoyed recess with all the 5th graders and look forward to moving on to my next class!  Remember to exercise and eat healthy everyday!  I can understand why Fitness Frankie loves Healthy Highway!  I LOVE Healthy Highway too!
Love, Physical Eddie
