Earth Day!

2009-04-15T11:22:00.005-03:00

I hope everyone had an enjoyable Easter. We are now approaching Earth Day and have started learning more more about how we can help our planet. There is a very good website called Ecokids. It has manyinteresting facts about the Earth and fun games the children can play. http://www.ecokids.ca/pub/index.cfm

We had a presentation last week called the "N.E.D Show" NED stands for Never give up! Encourage others! Do your best! The man giving the presentation used a YO-YO to help deliver the message of having a good attitude and never giving up. The YO-YO's are on sale at the school if you are interested. The prices are: $6.50/$10.00/$15.00. They will be on sale for the rest of this week if you choose to purchase one for your child. If your child buys one it will be sized to fit him/her thus making it easier to use. The YO-YO's work well and are designed for children.

Happy Easter!

I want to wish everyone a Happy Easter! Enjoy your weekend and hopefully some nice spring weather. We hope you like the Easter crafts that the children made for you.

Mr. Groundhog saw his shadow so I guess we can expect at least 6 more weeks of winter. Many children were happy to hear this prediction and some were not. They liked learning more about Groundhog's and celebrating this special day. Thanks for helping fill out our Groundhog survey. Happy February to you all.
