| Healthy ME Booklets |
Teaching your children Tuesday and Wednesday last week was an absolute joy. They are such an eager bunch of students who just love to learn. They really do come to class to work hard and are happy to do so, even after a 2 week holiday! It was a treat to have them back well rested and ready for the final school term. If you haven't done so already, have a look at their Spring Break snapshot writing on the portable bulletin board (it's inside the classroom by the spuds now), it shows their hard work on the first day back. Both Ms. Taylor and I were impressed with the content and the amount of their writing. Last week we also wrapped up our Healthy Body unit. Their booklets are in the library right now, waiting for our Super Librarian, Ms. Y, to find a spot to showcase them. They learned so much about what healthy foods are, eating a variety of foods, what foods contain what vitamins, importance of rest & relaxation (their fave page I think), why exercising is important and their favourite ways to get some. On Friday, April 26 a dentist will be coming in to class to talk to them about oral health. Thank you to Henry's mom for arranging this for us. I meant to have a dentist guest speaker in during our unit but the schedules didn't work. Oh well. I'm certain they'll learn lots or have a good reminder from yet another person about the importance of brushing and how to brush in any case.Last week, I also tried to bring HOPSCOTCH back into their lives. Maybe you've noticed? We managed to get 15 minutes outside last Wednesday in the sunshine and played on the 2 hopscotch boards painted under the black top. It's such a great activity to get out the chalk and paint a board on the sidewalk outside your home.

Today was another fabulous day in the land of Grade 1/2. Again, they arrived this morning eager to work hard and learn. We really focussed in on 3-d objects today in Math. Their cubes are coming home today. On each face is a fact about a cube, written in a sentence (that was the 'criteria'). It's not put together the best way...feel free to add more tape. It's not as easy as it looks to put that net together! We talked about edges, faces, vertices (corners). We also talked about what exactly 3-D means. Their 3-D art demonstrating what 3-D means is outside on the table in the hallway.
Next week we will begin the C.A.R.E. program which is a sexual abuse prevention program for children aged 5-9. I sent home a letter outlining the program's focus today. It's on purple paper. C.A.R.E stands for Child Abuse Research & Education.
Have a fabulous week and see you next Tuesday! Please remember that library books are due back on Tuesdays.
