Good Day!  Today’s blog is about keeping parents informed. 

FLU BUG:  It appears we have a flu virus running through.  We have 2 teachers out sick today and a few children.  It has no name as of yet, simply fever and feeling poorly.

SHORT READ CHILD GUIDANCE ARTICLE:

“Research shows that what leads children to become responsible, resilient, moral citizens, with emotional accountability is not being punished. Instead, it is receiving empathy, unconditional love,  being involved, and respected. In other words, when children make a mistake, mess up, break things, say something obscene, they don’t learn from pain or shame but they do need us to help them find their way.” For the full article, check out:

Here are some moments from our classroom this morning:

Breakfast was whole wheat toast with PB & bananas.  Lunch was whole wheat pasta with turkey, watermelon, and cucumbers. 

Have a great day!
