Week at a Glance

March 5 

 

Mindfulness 

We began our Mindfulness residency this week with Amber Pavey. We learned about breathing and how our breath can be like the anchor of a boat in a storm that can help us to become calm and relaxed. We can call this Anchor breathing or Belly Breaths. Ask your child when they feel they could use these Anchor breaths at home or at school. 

 

Snacks 

Thank you for continuing to send in snacks that can be opened independently. Just a reminder that we are a Nut Aware School and we do request that you try not to send any snacks that have nuts in them due to allergies in the building.  

 

Conference Reminder 

Student Led Conferences are next week, March 10th (Romanko only), 11th and 12th.  Please book in a time for you and your child to meet with your teacher. If you are unable to book a conference, please let your child's teacher know. 

 

Number 10 

We learned about the number 10 this week. We look forward to learning about all the different ways to make 10 in the coming weeks. 

 

Letter Nn 

Our letter of the week this week was Nn. The action that went along with our story was to pretend to nibble on food like Nellie the Newt to remember what sound the letter Nn makes.
