Today we continued our class discussion about working together and helping each other by making goop. Goop is cornstarch and water (you can add food colouring to make some cool colours!). When we work together as a class it is a solid, but when we stop working together it falls apart into a liquid. Students very much enjoyed observing and testing the goop! We also completed a math and spelling assessment today. It is an opportunity for me to get to know the students as a learner.
Reminder that tomorrow is a Friday half day. Pick up is 11:20 at Door B! Today the digital citizenship agreement was sent home, as well as a manila envelope of forms. Please read and return required information!
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.
Have a wonderful evening!
- Ms. Bell
