Knowledge & Fun With Friends
Check-In with everyone
Lets check out the national day
Show & Share
Let's see that EXPIRATION DATE!
Show us the can, medicine bottle, food item, or other emergency supply that you found that has an EXPIRATION date.
Why do things expire? What does that mean?
Is there a difference between EXPIRE, SPOIL and GO STALE?
Look at these pictures of where to find expiration dates on packages and containers:
- Which item/s probably becomes inactive when it expires instead of spoiling?
- Can you tell the expiration date of each item?
- What are some differences in how the dates are written?
- Sometimes the day comes before the month. That's how they write dates outside the US.
- Years are often shown as just 2 digits. Like 1978 can be shown as '78, or 2011 might be written '11. When it comes to expiration dates we should always make sure the year is either the current year or in the f_________________.
Next week Show & Share will focus on pets and how we care for them. If you have a pet, a picture of your pet, a stuffed animal that is like a pet or just a favorite animal you would like to be your pet, bring it to show on Monday.
You don't have to HAVE your own pet, or a live pet, to participate. Just having animals that live in our community is a happy thing. Information about pets and pet care is interesting to everyone.
