Edgewater Eagles test

The class and I have explored the amount of sugar in drinks using some lessons from the Sip Smart program. They researched to find the definitions of various forms of sugar. We also checked the labels of various drinks and looked at the amount of sugar in each. We discussed energy drinks and the fact that the daily percentage of sugar is not included on many labels. Eco-Superior, a local organization, also came and discussed tap water. We went on a field trip to our local water treatment plant and learned how we get our clean, delicious drinking water from our taps.
I allow students to have water bottles on their desks and model drinking water instead of juice or other drinks.
