This week, as part of Tuesday’s D.E.A.R.

program, the students in the Academic Reading

class read a magazine article entitled “Are You Ad-

dicted to Your Phone?” Ms. Cerce and her students

all wrote responses to this article discussing wheth-

er they agreed or disagreed with the article. The

following is an excerpt from student, Elvert Young’s

response:

I agree with the passage “Are You Addicted

to Your Phone?” because I relate to the [topic]. It

made me realize that I spend too much time on

social media. This passage will make me change the way I use my phone. By using our

phones so much, all we are really doing is damaging our brains and causing anxiety and

depression. Social media is a big distraction and kids should use it less and start using their

brains more. They should find things to do that do not include their phone like completing

chores to keep your living space clean, participating in sports to stay active, and hanging out

with friends to maintain relationships in your life. All of these things will allow you to enjoy

life more and keep your mind off your phone. [continued on pg.4]

ration activity which took place on Friday

The June Recreation Trips took us to the zoo, aquarium, and an air show! We all had the opportunity to

get out and enjoy the nice weather at Roger Williams Park Zoo in Providence, Mystic Aquarium in Con-

necticut, and the Air Show in Quonset Point, RI. Some of these trips were a first time experience for stu-

dents and it was definitely an awesome, cool, fun-filled weekend! My favorite trip was the Air Show,

which was an event that you wouldn’t want to miss. The atmosphere was so lively and amazing to witness.

I am very grateful to have had the pleasure of taking the students on new adventures!

Phone usage is making kids lazy in today’s world. Our phones

do all of the thinking for us, there is no reason for us to use our

brains. Any answer you can think of can be found on the inter-

net. Everything is just a web search away. We do not even

need to interact with others in person because it is so much easier to hide

behind a screen and speak to everyone through social media or text messag-

es. We can watch television and movies and play games on our phones as

well. This causes people to spend hours with their eyes locked on their phone screens rather than interacting

with other people or enjoying the world around them. App creators purposely “trap” people so that they stay on

their phones longer whether it be the promise of extra lives when you reach a new level in a game or advertise-

ments for items you have searched for previously tempting you to make more purchases. These are tactics

used by companies to keep their customers coming back over and over again and we fall for it every time. We

become obsessed without even realizing it and soon we cannot live without this technology in our lives. The

sooner we can all find outside interests to enjoy without our phones, the better our lives will be. You will learn

more from the people and places around you and your experiences interacting with them than you will from

staring at a phone screen. Written by Ms. Cerce, Reading Instructor

Pros & Cons of Six Popular Healthy Snack Ideas & Trends

Snacks Magazine, June 2018

Innovations in Healthy Snacking

With healthy snacks becoming increasingly popular with millennials, health-conscious parents, older consumers and eve-ryone in between, several key innovations have been developed to create products that address the different reasons shoppers are buying healthy snacks. Here are some of those trends:

Gluten-Free:

For the millions of people who suffer from Celiac Disease, the arrival of so many gluten-free snacks makes man-aging their disease much easier. People with Celiac Disease can’t process the gluten protein in wheat, so gluten-free products either have grains that don’t have this protein or use wheat that’s had the gluten protein removed from its composition. Keep in mind that although this allows people with Celiac Disease to enjoy wheat-based products like bread, the removal of the gluten protein often eliminates any nutritional value these foods would have had otherwise. This means that a lot of gluten-free foods consist of empty carbs that don’t provide vital nutrients.

Energy Bars:

With many healthy Snackers wanting portable treats that provide energy enhancing, functional nutrition, energy bars have evolved significantly. Many of today’s innovative energy bars use recognizable ingredients, such as iron, vitamin C and magnesium, which make them popular with health-conscious consumers. BALANCE Bars and Kind Snacks Fruit & Nut bars are two of the most popular innovators in this niche.

Non-GMO:

A GMO is a genetically modified organism made when a gene from one species is transferred to a second one to produce something that you can’t find independently in nature. While some consider GMOs as a way to provide security for the world’s food supply, others consider genetically modified foods as a threat to their health. At least one study showed that the organs of rats who ate modified potatoes exhibited symptoms of wasting, and female rats who had a diet of genetically modified soybeans had stunted and sterile babies. Because of studies like these and the widespread suspicion of GMOs and their manufacturers, one innovation in healthy snacks is simply to avoid the use of GMOs with non-GMO snacks.

Organic:

Organic foods contain no additives and or GMOs. They’re also grown without using certain things, such as syn-thetic pesticides, roundup herbicides and sewage sludge. While certain foods are most certainly worth the extra cost you’d normally pay for the organic label, others might not be. When it comes to buying fresh fruit and vege-tables, it’s smart to buy organic snacks whenever possible. Some of the items you should especially buy organic include potatoes, tomatoes, sweet bell peppers, cherries, grapes and pears.

Fruit Snacks:

Fruits snacks have come a long way throughout the years. Long-lasting, tasty snacks like fruit bars and dried fruit pieces are easy to enjoy when you’re on the move and they typically come in appropriately sized portions. These snacks can be infused with things like vitamins and calcium, which support immune health and growth in chil-dren.

Salty, but Low-Sodium Snacks: There has been plenty of development in the realm of salty, low-sodium

snacks, as well. For example, General Mills reduced the salt content of Chex Mix by an impressive 36%. Other food man-ufacturers have created salty, low-sodium snacks from non-traditional foods. Some of the healthier salty snacks you now have to choose from include sweet potato tortilla chips, bean and rice chips and crisps made with snap peas. What new trend speaks to you? If none, speak you don’t have to worry, 2019 is around the corner there will be something else.
