I also hope to be able to book the arena to go skating before the holidays  ....stay tuned.

Parenting Assignment

Ladies and Gentlemen.....

It is imperative that you hand in ALL assignments.  Even after a stern talk from me on Tuesday I have only received 1/2 of your assignments.  You had well over 4 hours of in class time to complete this small assignment.  You need to finish it and hand it in as not doing so really affects your mark in a negative manner

Parenting Dec 2 -6

From my new computer....I am back in business :)  Here is a tentative look at the upcoming week

Monday - I am not at school- you have 30 more minutes to finish up your birth practices in other cultures assignment.....you have had 2 full 76 minutes periods plus 2 part classes for a total of 3 hours and 32 minutes to work on it....it should have taken about 2 hours.  USE YOUR TIME WISELY and be sure it is handed in....either print it off or email it to me at my quadro address

The rest of the class will be spent looking at newborns, their characteristics and assessments done at birth

Tuesday - adjusting to a newborn and newborn care

Wednesday - We will NOT be going to CPS today, it does not work out with their schedule today.  Stay tuned, we may switch and go Tuesday or Thursday  - I will let you know.  We will be looking at newborns again

Thursday/Friday - infant growth and development....physical, emotional, intellectual, Piaget and his observations of children

Remember to drop back to 109 to pick up the REAL CARE baby if you have signed it out this week. In the morning please see Mrs Melady to drop it off.  Also be sure to let me know your child's name so I can program it into the data and you MUST have your permission form handed in to be able to take the baby home

Personal Fitness Dec 2 - 6

I am back in business with me new computer!  Here is what the week looks like .....we are working extra hard as the holidays are approaching and we need to be mindful that we could over-indulge a little :)

Monday - I am not at school today, I have left you a handout with a specific workout to follow...please complete the exercises in the order they are written.  I still have a number of log books at home as I marked them this weekend.  I will bring them tomorrow

Tuesday - It is a new month..... YES it is the stairs again and this time...5 times, followed by your individual workout plan

Wednesday/Thursday - a group warm up and workout followed by your personal workout plan

Friday - We head back to the YMCA, there are still many who have not yet paid for the Y....please do so this week as we have been there all semester enjoying this beautiful facility.

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

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!!

Personal Fitness Oct 28 - Nov 1

This is the last week we will follow your original fitness plan before we redo the fitness tests next week.  Make sure that you make every workout count.

We will also start our mental health and stress unit and you will be working on a project where you will research a method of stress reduction and present it to the class on the iPads.

Friday is our trek over to the Y.  Now that it is really nasty weather out ensure that you have a pair of indoor shoes to wear.

Parenting Oct 28 - Nov 1

Wow this week is a busy one!

Monday - We will finish up the conception to delivery video we started last Friday, there are 20 minutes left, then we will carve pumpkins BUT ONLY IF YOU HAVE HANDED IN ALL YOUR ASSIGNMENTS....there are still a handful of you who need to hand in the interview assignment that was due before Thanksgiving.

I have ordered the pregnancy vest and it should have arrived late on Friday afternoon so you will all have the chance to try it in the next few weeks

Personal Fitness October 15 - 18

I hope that you found some time to be active this long holiday weekend and you were able to be outside.  The cool mornings are perfect for running!

This week we continue to workout according to our fitness plans.  There are 4 of you who still need to hand in your fitness books to be marked as you were at volleyball when I collected them.  There are also a few of you who need to complete some assignments in your books and hand them in - at the moment those are marked "incomplete"

This is a reminder of the quiz on Friday - last Thursday you received a review sheet...USE IT AS IT WILL BE VERY HELPFUL FOR THE TEST.....HINT HINT

Your test has diagrams of both the heart and the muscular system to label.  It is imperative that you study those diagrams.

Parenting October 15 - 18

I hope you had a fabulous long weekend with family and you were able to be outside in the wonderful weather!

I was disappointed to find that only 9 out of 25 people handed in their parenting interview assignment.  You choose the due date and had 1.5 weeks to complete the assignment.  If you are one of the 16 people that did not hand it in you must do so Tuesday or Wednesday at the latest.

The rest of the week will be spent finishing up loose ends in preparation for Friday's test.  We need to take up the birth defects assignment you worked on last Thursday and we need to finish up the note on healthy nutrition and lifestyle in pregnancy

This week most days will see us with a group warm-up and workout and then you will have 40 - 45 minutes to work on your own fitness plan.  We will come back together at the end of the class for a cool down together.

Sometimes our group activity will be at the beginning of the class and sometimes it will be towards the end.  We will be having our literacy activity on THursday as we are off to the Y on Friday.

Tuesday - warm up, Agility and Power fitness testing if we can use the small gym

Welcome Back for a New School Year!

Welcome back everyone.  I hope you had a fabulous summer and you are energized and ready to go.  This is the spot where you will find information relating to my classes...PAF 30 (Personal fitness) and HPC 30 (Raising Healthy Children).  In Social Science/Family Studies we are implementing new curriculum this fall so you will notice that HPC has a new name...the former parenting Course is now called raising healthy children.  Much of the content is the same and the focus is still preparation for parenting, conception and prenatal development and birth to age six.

Remember that I am a part0time teacher and I will be teaching two classes and at CHSS  1/2 days. In week A I am here in the afternoon and then in week B I am at CHSS in the morning.  I also coach the cross country team with Miss Carter and would love to have you come out to practices and join the team.

Nutrition Final Evaluation Project

Food and Nutrition

Final Assessment

Recipe Book Assignment

This assignment has been designed in order to develop and utilize your organizational skills, and produce a project which you will use for many years to come. You need to use a scrap book, a folder, a recipe box, a binder or duo tang.

You will be collecting and categorizing recipes in your own personal recipe book.

Considerable thought should be given to the planning and layout of your book or box. You will need sections and you may wish to use some type of dividers:

The following are some suggestions:

-Main dishes

-Veggies and salads

-muffins and loaf

-cookies, desserts and squares

-beverages

Recipes should be categorized and you can add “helpful hints and anecdotal comments” If you have created some of these recipes you could certainly add pictures of the final product. A professional look is required so you do want to place recipes on a background and perhaps colour code the different sections.

You need a book cover, a title page, and a table of contents. You should also use a variety of sources (magazines, internet, family cook books, recipes used in class) and the sources must be declared in the references page at the end of your book.

It is really important that these recipes are PRACTICAL and not crazy complicated gourmet recipes you would never use. These would be the “recipes to save your life” as Jamie Oliver would say.

Recipe books are due Friday June 14^th. You will have class time to work on it but you are expected to work on it on your own time as well. The assignment value is 15% of your final mark

Reminder:
YOUR FINAL EVALUATIONS FITNESS PORTFOLIOS ARE DUE TOMORROW

We will continue with fitness presentations tomorrow and hope to get most of them done.  On THursday we will finish any that are still left to do and remember that you have your reflection to write that day as well.  Then as I mentioned we will go to the arena to skate from approximately 2-3 pm.

YOU NEED SKATES AND A HELMET.

If you have extra skates or a helmet at home please bring them for someone who might not have any.  IF you would prefer to walk or run on the indoor track or use the exercise bikes that would be fine too
