These four lovely students were all ready to dance a traditional Ukrainian dance, but due to Ms. McGhee's technical difficulties with working the iPad... these are just still photos.
SORRY!
We made eggs, went to the sea, 'ate' Borscht (amazing beet and cabbage soup), visited the capital city Kyiv, where Ms. McGhee was born and we danced...

Dear families,
The other day I saw something that made me think. Due to Covid 19 we have all been living quite a different life. It’s interesting how we evolve, solve problems and adapt to our situation. So, as you know we are trying to have our M and M’s be self-sufficient, relying less and less on us and supervisors to help our kiddos with snacks/lunches. So, when I saw one of our little guys eating a banana with a fork, I thought that was brilliant! The banana was cut into pieces and I thought to myself, “What a great idea!” He didn’t have to ask anyone to help him peel it and he didn’t need to touch it with his hands. It was in a reusable container that he was able to open by himself. Win, win, win. So, I started thinking that because I am always looking for great snack and lunch ideas for my kid, maybe you all are too. So I walked around and took some pictures of the amazing healthy lunches that you all are packing for your kids. I know that sometimes it’s easier to buy food that is prepackaged but when we were talking about Healthy Foods, we realized that the prepackaged foods were so much less healthy. The kids are super proud to show off their healthy snacks and love it when I take pictures of them.
Thanks again for the inspirations and the awesome lunches that you are packing!
Natasha McGhee
P.S. I hope you find some food for thought. (LOL – pun intended)

These individual fruit cups are a bit tricky to open without spilling. I've found that buying the bigger ones and putting them in reusable containers is easier and more cost effective. For an added bonus, if your child likes cottage cheese, it's a great way to get the protien to cut the sugar.

These Rubbermaid containers are my favourite because they are relatively inexpensive and I like the way they close. Also, there are so many types.

Below you will find my rant about juice boxes and why I'm not a fan.
Juice boxes. are full of sugar, the kids often don't finish them, they are sticky and messy at school. Also, I am always finding straws and straw wrappers all over the place.

Everyone is already sending water bottles and that's great. Water really is the best choice.

Dear families,
Dear families,
The students are outside for at least a half hour in the morning and then again at lunch. Please ensure that your child has a warm coat, winter boots, snowpants, mittens/gloves, a hat… They now need to have indoor shoes (running shoes so that they are appropriate for gym) if they do not have some at school already. Please remember to label everything as we already have a class lost and found and sometime the students forget what item belongs to them.

As treats are not able to be shared we are asking families to refrain from bringing in treats for the class. This includes food treats as well as any other treats such as pencils, toys erasers etc. If you wish your child to have a nice treat you might want to consider packing a special treat just for them.

Please leave masks (i.e. full face masks) that are a part of a costume at home. Scary or gory costumes can be very scary for other students and do not support our focus on well-being. Weapons and props are not to be brought to school, as is normally the case.
