Today was a busy day!
I started the morning by sharing with the students that they were going to be challenged. We talked about different strategies we can use if we become frustrated at any point.
We completed both a math and spelling assessment. It is an opportunity for me to get to know them better as a learner.
Your child may have come home with a strange substance. We call it goop. We discussed how it is important to "Keep our Goop Together" in all situations. The mixture was cornstarch and water. When we work together it is solid. When we don't... well it goes everywhere! Give it a try! It's a great opportunity to discuss different situations and how our goop can fall apart, but we are able to bring it back together.
Tomorrow will be a half day as it is Friday. Students will be dismissed at 11:20.
A newsletter and envelope was sent home. Please read and return required information. Thanks.
Please read the following message from our school:
At Evergreen School, we encourage healthy eating habits. Food that is provided to all children within a classroom must be prepared in a commercial kitchen.
Schools continue to revisit policies that help protect anaphylactic children. Allergic shock can be sudden and even deadly for those affected. Often schools attempt to eliminate allergens from the environment; however this can create a false sense of security, as it is almost impossible to guarantee an allergen-free school. At Evergreen School, we will work together with families to create a safe environment. We recognize the need to balance the right and convenience of all students to eat what they like and the allergic child’s right to be safe at school. We hope that by becoming an “allergy aware” school we will continue to promote greater awareness of anaphylactic issues.
To help reduce the risk to our anaphylactic children, we ask you to bring lunches and snacks that are free from nuts. If you are planning to send treats that have been prepared in a commercial kitchen into your child’s classroom, you need to communicate clearly with your child’s teacher beforehand. If classroom treats are mistakenly sent to a classroom, teachers will contact families and remind them that we are unable to distribute items unless a conversation has occurred beforehand. In this case, items can be picked up from the school office or returned home.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Question of the day:
What is an example of how we can help keep the goop together?
Comment below on the blog :D
Have a great night!
