Baby Jacob

Today was "WALK TO SCHOOL DAY".  ALL Staff and students were encouraged to meet at the nearby Football Field- a few blocks down from the school- and we all walked to school together! Some Grade 5 students carried our school banner. It was a beautiful morning to walk to school!

It was great to have some parents join us on our walk, too! Thank you for walking with us!
The school division police personnel also joined us, and other officers were on hand to stop traffic at the busy intersection we had to cross.


Here we are -- back at the school. All students who did the group walk to school met up with all the kids who came straight to school.

THE other exciting event of our day was the highly anticipated arrival of ...... baby Jacob!  He and his mom are helping us out this year with the ROOTS OF EMPATHY program.

Baby Jacob

Baby Jacob is taller than the Roots of Empathy doll.

He is about 8 blocks long (or tall) right now. We will measure him again later in the year to see how much he has grown.

Our class with Mrs. Zinn and her baby, Jacob

We each got a turn to tickle his toes as we sang a HELLO song, and then later, a GOOD-BYE song to him.

  4. Ethan was so excited about Baby Jacob. I think this is an excellent way for him to learn about development, etc., especially since he is an only child at home. Thank you so much for the wonderful opportunity.
