Real Care Baby

Hi Parenting students - I am not sure who texted my home phone - my husband answered and didn't write your number down.  It the strap on your wrist is hampering the chime for your baby then try cutting the strap and just use the chime button.  Be very careful not to loose it!

It could be that you are just a little impatient waiting for it to chime.  Hold the chimer close to the baby and give it a few seconds.  Also....if you have let the head drop the baby will scream for 2 minutes continuously and it will not chime

Hope this helps

FITNESS Nov 4 - 8

I hope you were able to be active this weekend, particularly in the sunshine on Sunday. Here is a look at the upcoming week:

Monday - it is November......we do the stairs x4 this time.  When we are done we will head back to the fitness room and there will be a few minutes to finish up your stress-strategies presentations if you still need to do that.  Then we will be watching the presentations and learning from one another.  I will also try to post the presentations here as you will need that information for your next quiz.

Tuesday - Presentations if we still need to finish....then we will do fitness testing - we have already redone the 1.5 mile run - be sure to write that number in the appropriate column in your book.

Wednesday - Fitness testing

Thursday - I have scheduled us at the YMCA because tomorrow is a PD DAY.  However, today is the remembrance assembly at 1pm and I am not sure if it will be done in time for us to leave at 2pm.  I will find out more details and I may need to move our Y visit to Wednesday.

Friday - PD Day - be sure to be active this weekend!!
