Thursday, March 12, 2015


Recently there has been an especially high number of students who are ill at school.  We have been encouraging students to wash their hands frequently and practice good hygiene practices, such as coughing and sneezing into their elbow instead of their hands.  If your child is running a fever, throwing up, coughing or sneezing a lot please show consideration for others by keeping him/her at home until they are better.  This helps prevent colds and flus from spreading through the entire class. 

Highlights

Ms. Bain: We spent the afternoon with guest teachers building things with the straws.

Mrs. Diduch: We looked at Mrs. Diduch’s house and homes in our community of Panorama Hills on Google Earth today during social studies. We are expanding our understanding of maps and our global community.

Reminders

Mss. Bain/Mrs. Diduch: We are going to be starting our building unit.  We are looking for a variety of materials.  Please send in any of the following: popsicle sticks, tooth-picks, card-board (cut into manageable pieces), clean empty food tins, toilet-paper rolls, paper-towel rolls, egg-cartons, string, plastic lids, plastic drink cups, etc.
