In Preparation for Lent: This week we began our discussion on Lent and began to explore how Lent is our preparation time for Easter. We created caterpillars to represent the understanding of our wait for Jesus' coming at Easter. Our Caterpillars will change in to beautiful butterflies with the coming of Jesus.
As our Lenten Journey begins next week we will be looking at daily reminders of Lent and how we can prepare our hearts. Everyday your child will pick from our special Lenten Promise jar something to give up for the day or something special to do. We will be recording these acts and discussing them daily, so be sure to ask your child what their special Lenten Promise was for the day.Anti-Bully Day
On Wednesday we participated in Anti-Bully Stations with the Kindergartens, Grade 1's, 2's and 3's! We listened to a story on how to be a great friend, created our own Anti-Bully day T-shirts, made Ants on a Log, watched The Ant Bully Movie and even learned a fun Anti-Bully Day dance. It was a super fun filled day! We talked about what being a good friend means and even what to do sometimes when we disagree with our friends.
Healthy Bodies Unit!
In the next few weeks we will be looking at healthy and non-healthy food choices and recording our own foods in a snack log to chart the different foods we eat for snack. To promote healthy eating in our classroom, please encourage your child to choose their own snacks (if possible!) so they feel inspired to make healthy choices.
I am also again reminding any parents who have food flyers at home to send them in for an upcoming project.
