Message For Growing:
Boys And Girls
I have been watching some boys
and girls as they go about their
daily work. Most of the children j
have lunch money but instead'
of going to the lunch room -they
go to the store and buy candy,
cookies, ice cream and pickles.
If we want to be healthy boys
' and girls, we must eat food that
will make us strong.
When some boys and girls go
out for recess, they don t run and
jump like others. I sometimes
think they are sick. Playing is
exercising the body and it will
make us strong boys and girls.
We should have 11 hours sleep
6very night so that our bodies
will not run down, and we should
ventilate our ro9m every night
hat the fresh air can come in
. ' the at -le air go cut.
Here are some health rules for
growing boys and girls:
1. We should eat food to build
strong bones.
2. We should brush our teeth
daily
3.
4
room.
5. We should exercise our bod
ies.

We have been studying about
“posture” in our room. We have
learned that “good posture is
more important than poor pos
ture. We are trying to improve',
our posture so our bones will;
grow straight, |
We have learned that good pos- |
ture should be a habit It allows ;
the body’s organs to do their j
best work. When we are seated
our feet should be flat on the
I floor and most of all we know
Ithat strong, well-trained muscles
j are needed for good posture.
