Elementary school students with many hypothermia

 At the meeting, attention was paid to the activities that Mr. Masashige Yamashita, a member of the School Teachers Division of the Mitoyo City Board of Education in Kagawa Prefecture, engaged in when he was the principal of Nio Elementary School in the city.
 Mr. Yamashita was appointed23Looking back on those days, he said that he felt that he was often absent due to illness.
 Upon examination,12Month2Absence due to influenza that started on the following day6Continue until the moon and converge7It took more than a month.
 approx 300students at all schools, and the total number of suspensions is764people (real number251person).
 Mr. Yamashita wondered, "Why is my body so weak?"
 So when you actually measure the temperature of the child,36.5more than a child24It turns out that there are only XNUMX%.
 In general, children have a high normal temperature,37It seems that it is considered to be a degree,4In person3people too36.5Never.

Early morning marathon and 8 hours of sleep

 body temperature1When the temperature drops, immunity30% decrease.
 "When I was young, I used to return my salary to the principal if I didn't achieve the goals I set for myself." The whole school worked on three measures to eliminate hypothermia.
 One is to increase muscle mass through exercise.
 I made the children who came to school run three laps around the playground. "Early morning marathon" seems to have the effect of alleviating the symptoms of developmental disorders.
 next,8Ensuring sleep time for hours.
 "9Sleep at times.”If I set goals that I can't meet, the children will say, 'You don't have to keep your goals,' so I said, 'It doesn't matter what time you go to sleep, but let's sleep this much in total.'"
 And finally, have a hearty breakfast.

Self-made rice ball bento for lower grades

 about children70% ate sweet bread for breakfast.
 When I asked the parents, they answered that they were making it properly, but the children were asleep until the last minute, so they were forced to wake up and sit at the dining table, eating bread while watching TV, and soon it would be time to go out. And the actual situation of pushing bread into the mouth and pouring it with juice emerged.
 Therefore, in order to teach the children how to eat in an appropriate amount and in a balanced manner, they learned to pack school lunches in lunch boxes brought from home, and enlightened their parents as well.
 In addition to the "Bento Day" advocated by Mr. Takeshita, children alone prepare menus, buy ingredients, cook, pack lunches, and clean up. , I challenged myself to make a rice ball while devising the ingredients to put inside.
 As a result of working hard on three measures, body temperature dropped in one year36.5more than a child24% increased nearly three times68% and more than half, the actual number of people who got the flu251from people about5Min1 Of51depleted in humans.



No chemical seasonings or natural ingredients

 On the other hand, with the cooperation of the adjacent school lunch center, we also worked on improving the school lunch.
 NPOsMr. Toshimichi Yoshida, the chairman of Daichi to Inochi no Kai, explained that the skins, cores, and growth points of vegetables, which are often thrown away during cooking, are a treasure trove of minerals and vitamins, and gave a lecture at the event. However, when Mr. Yamashita attended Mr. Yoshida's lecture held locally with the nutritionist and staff of the center, he first came up with the idea of ​​changing the seasoning of the school lunch.
 Specifically, we stopped using chemical seasonings and decided to use mainly “genki dashi”, which is a mixture of mineral-rich flying fish from Kyushu, local dried sardines, kelp, and shiitake mushroom powder.By powdering the small fish, it became a material that was used as a whole.
 Before we started using it, we invited Mr. Yoshida to the school and held a parent-child study session about food.
 When a junior high school girl complained that there was jelly in the soup, a nutritionist explained it.
 Until then, it was necessary to remove the dried sardines after making the dried sardine stock, but once the dried sardines were powdered, that was all there was to it.

Chew the first bite a hundred times

 We also reviewed how children eat.
 ・At first, say hello, “Inochi wo itadakimasu.”
 ・First, take a sip of milk and cork it.
 ・ Put the vegetables in your mouth and put your chopsticks down,100bite twice
 ·later30Eat while chewing twice
 
 “Eating vegetables first is to prevent blood sugar levels from rising,” says Yamashita.
 100Chewing twice is difficult even for adults,1For the first-year students, “A・R・GA・TO・U・GO・ZA・I・MA・SU”10It seems that he showed the trick to recite.
 At first100After chewing twice,30You will be able to turn easily.
 From the staff "100Some people worried that if they chewed the food more than once, the time for school lunches would be longer, and there would be more leftovers.7I shrunk by minutes and had more rest time, and there was almost no leftover food.
 In addition, we also worked on learning to make children know the joy of eating and raise their awareness of food.
 In order to develop sensitivity and expressiveness, such as what the food tastes like, how it is prepared, what seasonings are used, and when the food is in season, we have repeatedly practiced communicating invisible sensations in words.
