They planted grass in cans thatthey decorated themselves and called them “hairy, hairy cans”. They also found a live mouse in their classroom and after they caught it and everyone had a chance to look they let it go. They are also learning to count up to 100. In their art class, they made kites which were hung from the ceiling and raindrops to be placed on the door. On Monday, April 18, the kindergartens participated in a balloon release held by the school, which they enjoyed very much.

Nutrition Matters Cut out the salt BY LYNN GARRISON NUTRITION CONSULTANT HURON COUNTY HEALTH UNIT Canadians eat too much salt. But where do we get this taste for salt? It may be that it develops during infancy. According to a report by the Infant Nutrition Institute, newborns and infants up to the age of four months are indifferent to the taste of salt. That is when offered water with different amounts of salt in them, babies showed no preference for the saltier ones. However, this was not the case with babies between the ages of four to seven months. These babies preferred the saltier water. Therefore, between the age of four to seven months, may be a critical time in which the prefer­ ence for salty foods develops. Developing this preference for salty foods could be the beginning of a potentially unhealthy eating pattern that may affect some people’s health. That is, certain people are “salt-sensitive” and eating too much of it increases their risk of developing high blood pressure. Therefore, introducing table foods to your infant too soon, may start your baby on a lifetime habit of excessive salt intake. This is because popular finger foods that are easy for an infant with few teeth to eat are also loaded with sodium - forexample sausage, ham, lun­ cheon meats and cheese. How can you avoid this problem? Babies between the ages of 4 and 7 months (the “critical time”) are most likely being introduced to solid foods. Therefore, it is impor­ tant that they be given only low-salt foods. Serving commercially pre­ pared infant foods or making your own baby food from fresh or frozen vegetables and fresh, cooked meats, fish or poultry, without adding salt, are good choices. Highly saltedfoodsshould be avoided throughout the entire first year of life. After infancy, salt intake should continue to be moderate in order to help establish long lasting good eating habits.
