Sick Kids

 So, I had a couple of really great questions come up today regarding sick kids. Here's what I can share for now...

When should we keep our kids home?

Well, here is the information from the SD68 stage-2 start-up plan, specifically page 9:


And the note from the Medical Health Officer for the Central Region of Vancouver Island Health Authority with the new health check for kids that was sent to parents this week:


Where can I get the work for my sick kid?

Umm. Well. I'm hoping to get them connected to Google Classroom sometime in the next week or so, plus my website for certain things, and here on the blog for others. Really, a sick kid probably mostly just needs sleep and a book to read. Try to keep some books on hand in both English and French (Scholastic is a good source...) for those unexpected days home when they're almost well enough to go to school. I know that's not really very concrete for an answer, but it's what I've got at the moment.

**Side note, all Google passwords for students were changed over the summer. Don't stress yourself out trying to figure out how to log on.

Again, THANK YOU for keeping your sick kids home: It means your kids' teachers may not have to stay home sick themselves.

Welcome back to school! We've hit the ground running, folks; here's what we've done this week. Tuesday: Where do we line up? Where is our class? Who are our teachers?

What are the expectations in our class?  Wednesday: We wrote about ourselves We did notes about place value and position in math - quiz Sept 20th We looked at the present tense of être (to be), avoir (to have), and aller (to go) - pre-quiz Sept 16, quiz Sept 23 We started listening to the book Fish in a Tree by Lynda Mullaly Hunt We talked about learning differently and how that makes us feel We made inferences (educated guesses based on what we've read, plus what we know from life) We learned that Janelle has ADHD, and so do a number of her students (who shall remain unnamed unless they choose to share that information themselves) - we watched a video called How To (Explain) ADHD We learned that we are welcome to share our own informa

It's been a while

 Sorry about my lousy communication of late (other than field trips, I mean). I've had this stupid (pardon my strong language) cold for a month and a half!! And it's not getting better! Anyway, there's lots going on this month, so here is the newsletter/calendar thing. I sent them home on Friday, on dark green paper. I haven't sent home a missing work email in a while, and I won't before break. Report cards are coming digitally, though.  Permission slips for bowling have already gone home, but I haven't sent the ones for skating, yet.  I put the first week back in January on this calendar, too. I also included some half birthdays, since not everyone is lucky enough to have their birthday during the school year. I also put my son's birthday on the calendar, since it's a milestone. Wish me luck in the passenger seat of my own car!! In case I don't check in again before the break, Happy Whatever Holiday You Celebrate Even If It's No Holiday At All,
