Healthy Habits for My Little Stars

Hello, my dear parents and my sweet little ones.
Every day in our class, I see so many happy faces.
But do you know what makes us happy and strong?
Yes – our healthy habits!

I want to tell you some small things we can do every day to keep our bodies and hearts happy.

1. Eat Rainbow Food
I always tell my children – “Eat colors!”
Not crayons!
I mean red apples, green peas, orange carrots, yellow bananas.
Different colors help our body in different ways.
Eating colors makes you strong like a lion and fast like a bunny.

2. Drink Water, Not Just Juice
Juice is sweet, but water is magic.
It keeps our body fresh, our brain smart, and our skin shiny.
I tell my kids – “Your water bottle is your best friend in school.”

3. Sleep Like a Baby Bear
When baby bears sleep well, they grow big and strong.
Children need sleep too – 9 to 11 hours.
Good sleep makes you happy in the morning and ready to learn new things.

4. Play and Jump Every Day
Running, jumping, skipping – these are not just fun.
They make our hearts strong.
Even dancing in your room is good!
Your legs, arms, and tummy all get exercise.

5. Wash Those Little Hands
Before we eat, after we play, after we sneeze –
Hand-washing is our superpower.
It keeps away germs that make us sick.

6. Smile and Be Kind
A healthy body needs a healthy heart too.
When we share toys, say kind words, and give hugs,
we make the world happier.
Kindness is a habit too.

Every day, I watch my little students grow.
I see how these small habits make them shine like the sun.
Parents, let’s work together.
Let’s make our children strong, happy, and full of life.

Because every child is a little star – and stars should always shine. 🌟
