Nutrition during Pregnancy

Good nutrition is the single most important requirement during pregnancy. The baby's growth and development, including crucial brain development, depend on nutrients from the mother. Write down all the food you eat on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Include all beverages that you drink. Hand in Friday morning.

I hope each of you have a fantastic Thanksgiving Break filled with good food, good friends and family. The first 3 students who comment on their favorite Thanksgiving family tradition by Thanksgiving will earn 5 points extra credit.

Teen Pregnancy, Baby Borrowers, TV

Many shows on television, including Baby Borrowers, focus on teen pregnancy. When it comes to teens, there may be a fine line between discouraging teen pregnancy and encouraging teens to consider parenthood as something trendy or cool. Do you feel that television or movies encourage teen pregnancy? Post your thoughts by Thursday.
