School Age Kinder Update March 2017

February was a busy month in the School Age Room. 

Kindergarten:

The Kindergarten children spent a lot of time outside, exploring town to find the biggest snow hills.  They love to walk to the high school and play on the big hills in the field. 

The Kindergarten children spent quite a bit of time experimenting with a variety or art materials and created numerous different Valentines day creations.  They definitely filled the room with love this month.

The Kindergartens were able to enjoy a musical guest a couple of time in February.  The children had the opportunity to try out some instruments and sing their favourite songs.

Before & After:

After school, some children choose to enjoy the great outdoors while others choose to stay inside.  They have been using their imaginations in the daily living area, making fuse bead creations, and engaging in various process-based activities implemented by the staff.

We had 2 inservices last month.  The first inservice (Feb 3rd) was Pirate Day.  We dressed up as pirates, sent messages in a bottle, ate an ocean snack, did some face painting, and some children even walked the plank!

On our second inservice, we had Rocks and Rings come to the centre.  The children had the opportunity to learn about the sport of curling.  They also got to play a game of indoor curling together with the instructor.  It was fantastic!

The children also created their own marshmallow structures and made chocolate covered pretzels as a sweet treat.

We are very excited about March.  Spring Break is just around the corner and it is going to be a blast!

Giving your baby a bath

Time it right: Don't give your baby a real bath until the umbilical cord stump falls off. Sponge baths are okay until then. Gather supplies: A baby tub (or just the sink), a washcloth or two, cotton balls (optional), baby soap, a towel, and a fresh diaper. Get ready: Heat the room if it's chilly, and run an inch or two of warm water (about 90 degrees Fahrenheit) into the tub or sink Take the plunge: Undress your baby and gradually place her in the tub on her back. Support her head and neck with one hand. Keep her comfy: Gently pour cupfuls of water over your baby's body throughout the bath so she doesn't get cold. Clean all over: Use a washcloth, cotton balls, or your hand to gently wash your baby's face and body. No need to scrub or use much soap. Read More

Why Healthy Teeth Are Important

How does taking care of your teeth help with all those things? Taking care of your teeth helps prevent plaque , which is a clear film of bacteria sticks to your teeth. After you eat, bacteria go crazy over the sugar on your teeth, like ants at a picnic. The bacteria break it down into acids that eat away tooth enamel, causing holes called cavities. Plaque also causes gingivitis (say: jin-juh-vi-tis), which is gum disease that can make your gums red, swollen, and sore. Your gums are those soft pink tissues in your mouth that hold your teeth in place. If you don't take care of your teeth, cavities and unhealthy gums will make your mouth very, very sore. Eating meals will be difficult. And you won't feel like smiling so much. Before Toothpaste Was Invented We're lucky that we know so much now about taking care of our teeth. Long ago, as people got older, their teeth would rot away and be very painful. To get rid of a toothache, they had their teeth pulled out. Finally people ...

Use of Cough medicines takes away the lives of 5 kids

A sad and shocking announcement made by The Belgian Pharmaceutical Group UCB SA on March 7 2008, has aroused a huge storm among people. As per them their popular cough medicine by the name of Tussionex has taken the lives of 5 kids who were suffering from rigorous cough due to off beam use. This pharmaceutical group has also put forward an admonition among all doctors and medical practitioners to examine their patients thoroughly before prescribing this drug. Eric Miller who is the UCB SA presenter told the media that the cough medicine Tussionex Pennkinetic Extended-Release Suspension is a much stronger drug in nature. It is mainly meant to be use for the adult person and for the children of the age of 6 years or older than that. So it can well be understood why it took away the lives of those innocent kids. Miller also stressed on the point that the company has got the Tussionex manufacturing authorization since 1987. Authoritarian experiments under all circumstances and studies have...
