Hello parents! What a beautiful day!

I am not doing a full blog today! It was another busy day here, preparing for the concert next week and trying to get things organized for our trip tomorrow and we just returned to our classrooms from a staff meeting!
ABOUT TOMORROW'S TRIP ....If you are not driving, please be sure to leave your child's car seat at school in the morning. We need to leave the school by 9:15 at the latest! The weatherman is saying sun and cloud for the morning, a 20% chance of rain and a temperature around 13 C. Uniforms are not required! Please send your child in clothing and footwear that can handle getting wet and/or dirty!

Looking forward to the trip!

Have a great evening!

CURRENT UNIT OF INQUIRY: More Than A Feeling!

Central Idea: We can express our feelings/emotions in many different ways.

Today the children were introduced to a program called Kelso's Choices. It is an excellent program about dealing with big and small problems. There is lots of info on the internet and I wish I had learned about it years ago! We watched some scenarios on the web and how Kelso helped the children solve their small problems.
