To celebrate the publication of Proceedings of the Learning Connection Summit: Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Student Achievement, I’m offering a short daily post during February on the ABCs of the health and academics.

X is for XIGUA or 西瓜 / (watermelon)

Honestly, I just couldn’t come up with X word for the Learning Connection. I’ve been thinking about it all month – and the only one that came to me was the the Chinese word for watermelon. So, we’re going with XIGUA – and a lovely spring garden, a sight for hungry eyes after months of winter and polar vortices.

Thanks to Watermelon.org for a little flowering spring
