Valentine's Day, Mindfulness, and Cochran's

 

Greetings,

This week we continued playing math games that involved sequencing numbers and adding numbers together to find the sum.  One game had us adding two numbers, getting the sum then adding 1 or minus (taking away) 1.

We had a lovely Valentine's party!  Thank you to all who thought of others and brought in cards and treats!  There were so many smiling faces and kind acts.  

We had our last Snow Motion day this week.  Every child grew their skills and left with great pride and excitement!  We thank Mrs. Cowan, Mr. G., and all of you for volunteering.  We had the most parents show up out of any class!  Mrs. Cowan remarked on how lovely it was to end the week with our session because of all of the great helpers! Also another shout out to all for donating goodies for after our ski days.  We ended with an extra special treat this week, thanks Torstrick family!

At ECO we talked further about how some animals are herbivores, omnivores, or carnivores.  They had fun playing a predator and prey game where they used strategies to escape predators, in this case, a wolf pack.  Many animals will warn others, run, hide, or freeze to avoid being eaten!

We had our first mindful moment with tea on Friday.  We used this time to settle our minds and bodies, and use our senses as we tasted lemon tea.  Students did a nice job practicing how to be polite when they taste something they do or don't like. We look forward to making this a weekly practice. 

Notes:

Please continue to pack your child with winter clothing every day!  Thank you!
