We would like to give a big THANK YOU to Mr. & Mrs. Mailloux for bringing their Baby Lakin to our classroom each month for a visit this school year. Watching Lakin grow and develop we have been able to see what is special about him, and that leads us to consider what is special about each one of us.This is how the Roots of Empathy program fosters the ideas of empathy for others and being good citizens ourselves. Thank you for letting us watch Lakin grow and develop, and for demonstrating the importance of baby’s 1st year and the value of caregiver attachment.

(ROE) is an award winning, evidence-based classroom program that has shown dramatic effect in reducing levels of aggression and violence among school children while raising social/emotional competence and increasing empathy.

We’ve all heard of the Food Pyramid, but how about the Activity Pyramid. With summer approaching it’s the ideal poster to have hanging on the fridge as a reminder how to stay busy!

Safe Kids Week 2010: May 31st – June 5th.
Activities with wheels are fun and are good ways to get exercise. But it’s important to stay safe so that kids can keep active. Head injuries are the #1 cause of serious injury and death to kids on wheels. A helmet could save your child’s life!

Most serious injuries and deaths associated with child cyclists involve collisions with a motor vehicle. The most severe injuries are those involving the head and brain; even seemingly minor head injuries may cause permanent brain damage. Other serious injuries include broken bones, facial injuries and serious skin abrasions that require grafts.

For scootering, skateboarding and in-line skating activities, head injuries are often the most serious type of injury for these wheeled activities, but broken bones are the most common. Children suffer injuries during these wheeled activities because of a combination of factors that most commonly includes inexperience, loss of control, lack of traffic safety skills, high speed, and the tendency to attempt stunts and difficult manœuvres.

This is why this year we have chosen “Got Wheels? Get a Helmet!” as our theme for Safe Kids Week 2010. Safe Kids Week is the largest annual national child injury prevention awareness campaign in the country, brought to Canadians by Safe Kids Canada and our generous sponsor Johnson and Johnson.

While Canada has come a long way in the development and implementation of helmet standards, practices and laws, there is still a lot more that can be done to keep kids safe.
