Information

• Sports Day is this Friday. Thanks to the grade 6 (soon to be 7) parents for organizing the pizza hot lunch and the concession for the day. Thanks to Ms. Edlund and Ms. Scholz who have taken on organization of the day itself. And thanks to the grade 7s who will be running the stations (surprise!). Watch for an information package to come home on Monday.

Quote(s) of the Week

Interesting Reading & Viewing

• You know my thoughts on this. And I reiterate that I can see it in action when I walk in the forest or sit in the courtyard with a kid who might be struggling, or a class who are feeling extra-jumpy. The Healing Power of Gardens: Oliver Sacks on the Psychological and Physiological Consolations of Nature. I guess this one sort of dovetails with the quote I chose this week, also.
• This might be too many at once, but here are 25 Phrases to Inspire Confidence in Your Child. I’d add: ’26. This is difficult for me, and here is how I’m managing that.’
