Dear Families,
Today we started with reading stations and then we had class meeting time. We looked at how to get onto the blog and the learning commons together. Then we started to look at learning about Canada by brainstorming what we THINK we know about Canada. After snack and story we had gym all together. Mrs. Roworth taught us a new warm up with cards. When we came back into class we started “ me as a learner” pages for our sketchbooks. In the afternoon we did a short cosmic kids yoga and then we read a REALLY important book. It was called Why Explore and it is our question for Grade 2. We ended the day by doing some art that involved both drawing and painting.
Important Reminders:
Please bring SMILE folders back to school every day.
*****If you did not comment on the BLOG yesterday please comment today with “yes I receive the welcome email last week” or “no I did not receive the welcome email last week” Thank you!!
And now a message from the office:
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.
