Edjumaction

Hunter just came home from school and brushed his teeth. He normally only brushes them at morning & at night so I asked him why. He told me a dentist came to school today & told them they should brush their teeth after they eat snacks at home. Then as we are eating popcorn, he goes to get the box. I told him to put it away cause we have some in the bowl still. He told me he was trying to see if there was lots of sugar in the popcorn. I pulled out the box to show him where it listed the sugar (less than 1 gram..whew). Apparently, the dentist was also educating them on how to see if there was too much sugar in their snacks. I guess that's the extra stuff all-day kindergartners learn with all that extra time they are at school, as opposed to half-day K. When I was 5, I sure didn't know what food labels were or that they even existed! All-day kindergarten didn't exist back then either so maybe that's why. Not that I think it's a bad thing, but having a 5 year old checking our food labels for too much sugar is kind of intimidating!
