EXERCISE ROLL CALL for Friday

by judycaret

Feb 24, 2017

Walked 10,000 steps around the reservoir on this cold, sunny day (40s is very cold for CA). I started listening to A Man Called Ove; I had no clue his name didn't rhyme with cove? I know I'm late to the party with this book--it sure is good!

Does anyone use the photo software

by Irfanview?

Feb 23, 2017

I have a new hard drive on my laptop and had to re download irfanview and now when I open the software, my photos are there but only by file name NOT the thumbnail view that I used to have. The "help" page at irfanview was not a help.

OP Thanks for your response! It's a Windows 7 laptop, Dell. I didn't do anything special to the computer before it just "automatically" arranged the photos so that when I opened a folder I could see thumbnails. Now it is just file names.

Food intake at school

by Steve

Feb 24, 2017

I'm new to these forums and have a question - 'In your school's, do you have a 'policy' on how much the children should eat?

If they don't like/eat the healthy option for the main meal are they allowed to have a sweet dessert?

I'm having trouble getting through to some parents about their children's eating habits!

From my experience there is a huge variance in what adults believe is "healthy". I am talking about all adults, including teachers.

At my last school at parent orientation we had a table display of examples of appropriate serving portions for the age group of our students. We also have out handouts of simple food choices to give ideas beyond sandwiches. Our problem before that tended to be food wate. Parents tend to give way too much food and a lot gott thrown away. We would send a note home if a child ate all of his lunch and seemed hungry. We also told parents to send in food that it didn't make any difference in what order and the child ate it in.We said that if a child brought a sweet in his lunch and ate that first, he usually didn't eat the rest of his lunch. We said the same about juice - they would drink that first then not eat the food. Most of the children drank water.

We did not police what they eat. If anything the other children would say something to their peer.

At my first school there was a girl who brought the same lunch for three years - chocolate pudding, chocolate pop tart with chocolate milk. She was an only child of a single mother on a. very little limited budget. Mom said that was the only food dd would eat. Parents have the final say in their food choices. That was a he worse one I ever observed. She grew up to be a competetive swimmer in high school.

We might not like what kids eat, but all we can do is serve as good role models and continue to teach good habits in a general way.

DonnaR/CA At the beginning of the year, at Back-to-School (Parent) night, I let the parents know that we have a mid-morning snack time. I mention that this is a good place for a healthy snack (but they ultimately decide on what's healthy for their child). The other thing I bring up: absolutely no sharing or trading is allowed. Normally, my classroom (K) has ...See More
