Happy Monday!

For today's Mindful Monday task, we re-visited the "bucket filling" concept. We remembered that everyone has an imaginary bucket that they carry around with them. When we treat people with kindness, we help to fill their buckets. If we are unkind to a friend, this tips their bucket. We read a new story called "Have You Filled a Bucket Today?" and then students drew a picture to show how THEY can be a bucket filler. Ask your child what they can do to be a bucket filler!

Check out some of these kind ideas!

Miss Aebli's AM group had gym this morning. Mrs. O will be starting the gymnastics unit with the whole school this week, so we talked about safety and then practiced landing on the mats safely (two feet with arms out in front for balance). Then we practiced different ways to move across the mat. Ask your child what ways they moved across the mat (HINT: army crawl, bear crawl, crab walk, log roll). Mrs. G's AM class had centre time. The PM group also had gym and then time for centres. There are a few new centres! Ask your child what they are!

REMINDERS:

This Friday is a PM day. 

An important notice went home today regarding an in-school field trip we have coming up! We have invited "Scientists in Schools" to visit so we can explore some SCIENCE! They will be running their "Winter Wonders" program. This program involves a variety of interactive and hands on stations that need to be run by an adult. For this reason, each class is required to provide 3 parent volunteers to help assist and ensure that everything runs smoothly. If you have completed your police clearance and you are available and interested, please email your child's teacher to let them know! Thank you!

Scientists in Schools will be here:
