Your culminating project is to develop a Parent/Caregiver Information Package

Your primary audience is parents and caregivers of children. Your information package may take the form of a parenting magazine, parenting fact sheets, booklets, slide show.....You may put your information into a binder, duotang, rubbermaid container, or a shoebox etc.... Remember you are creating something that will help parents of infants, toddlers or school age children. It should answer their questions, provide valuable information and can include fun, hands-on activities.

If you were a parent you would want to receive this information package!!

**** Remember this is an original creation – your own work...you MUST use your own words and you need to reference your sources as needed.

Your package should include AT LEAST 15 objects, quotes, personal stories, information sheets, pictures, resources etc. That will help your parents with these topics.

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
