Yoga and Mindfulness Club

                               

Monday, May 28th, grade 1 and 2 students from room 4 and 5 are invited participate in a yoga and mindfulness club.  It will be happening over the lunch recess in room 3.  This week students will be introduced to the yoga practice using animal poses!  Be sure to wear comfortable clothes that you can stretch in. Feel free to bring a yoga mat if you would like.  Watch for more upcoming mindfulness club times as well!

Guest Author Presentation

Grappling with Grumblies!   Juggling the Jitters!

Today the students in Room 4 and 5, had a fun and active presentation from author Jacqueline Guest. The children explored how they deal with grumpy and nervous feelings.  Her books were filled with rhyming, alliteration, onomatopeoia and other devices used in poetry.  Her characters used silly songs, dances and smiles to help them feel better.  The children made connections to the  strategies we use  at school to stay in the "green zone" as part of our Zones of Regulation.

Volunteers Required

Dear CJP Students and Families,

The Me to We Club students are organizing a outdoor “CJP Fair” on Monday June 4^th. The objective of this fair is to raise money for Education in Sierra Leone. Please visit the following website to find out more information:

https://www.we.org/we-villages/where-we-work/sierra-leone/

The Me to We Club students have organized some very fun games and activities, including tug-of-war, splish splash shoot, drip drip drop, water pong, pin the moustache on the grandma, bean bag toss, cup target game, face painting and tattoos, and popsicles. Please help us meet our goal by giving your child change (not pennies) to bring to school on Friday June 1^st (to avoid students forgetting to bring it on Monday!) so they can participate in the fun and games. Games will cost between 25 cents and 1 dollar. Please bring change as bills are time consuming for the students to change.

Volunteer opportunities for "Me to We Outdoor Fair Day" on June 4th are now open. We are in desperate need of volunteers for this event to take place. Please click on the following web link to go to the signup sheet: www.volunteersignup.org/LRPM8

To sign up, just follow the instructions on the page. It only takes a few seconds to do.

Thank you for volunteering!

Thank you,

Me to We Club
