(sorry posted under the wrong subject before)

Hey there everyone- just wanted to send out the website for the “body science” class for those of you that are interested in it doing it… I told saleema we would get back to her soon about the details like what day works best for everyone?? I was thinking on a wednesday at the school?? it is $250 for the session so the more kids we have the cheaper it is for us all!!!…but definately worth doing!!… saleemanoon.com cheers JIll

Hey Jill,

I would love to have Hazel take part in the body science talk. Sounds really great. Wed would work for me if it’s in the morning that would be awesome.
Keep us posted!

Hey everybody,

Feeling slightly disconnect with the goings on at Garibaldi lately…kids have been sick…life is crazy etc…Really hoping to spend more time at the school soon. Wanting to come and play!!!
Missing the action! Anyway,I this idea that I wanted to share.

I was thinking that since the raining season is upon us and that all of us are spending more time indoors we all need entertainment, reading material, art supplies, games, toys etc…to keep our kids going right? Well I don’t know about you folks but I’m kind bored of the stuff we have and I think the kids are too.
What about doing a resource exchange? We could choose a time maybe during class on a tues or thurs and set up in the spare room and have a trading party.
I’m thinking sans kids (while they are with Shannon) might be better as it would eliminate undue “fighting” or jealously over who gets what.
Of course the little ones will be present but I’m sure we can manage that!

Let me know what you’ll think.

I have lots of stuff that my kids have outgrown that I’m sure some child will appreciate.

thoughts on this?

Hello all,

OK so I’m proposing that we do this resource exchange on Thursday. Do we think we can get things together by then? I feel like if I don’t move on this it will remain just “one of those good ideas” that never transpire! That happens in my world a lot! I always have all these ideas….making them happen is my personal challenge!
So Thursday? Yes?

Howdy Sarah ,
Sounds good and timely by me….
Wondering what sorts of things would apply?
Does lego count?

Best,
Jacinda

We’re purging toys, making space and wonder if anyone has a
need/desire/wish for stuffed animals?

They are in good shape and would love to be adopted!
