Why reading is a big deal

3 points I took away from the article.

1) Reading to your children from a young age increases their intelligence.

2) Reading increases many skills such as empathy and comprehension

3) Children who enjoyed daily story time were almost 12 months ahead in school and their vocabulary.

Reading to kids

Reading can: build relationships, build interests, increase intelligence.

Reading will: build relationships, build interests.

I value reading because: I spend quality time with my kids, I love seeing their smiles and reactions.

Reading in my family looks like: technology, love, happiness, family, intense, smiles.

New phone!

So yesterday (15-4-2014) I got my new phone the Galaxy S5. So far I love it.

When I saw the courier pull up in my driveway I ran home cause I was at my neighbours house, I got my purse out for my ID then happily accepted my package!

I put everything together and started up my new, pretty phone. After I had a little play I started to download all my applications.

Letter to class

Dear class mates.

I am writing this letter to you to express my concern. I have noticed there is a lot of people missing school because they feel unsafe, unsecure, rejected, not worthy and secluded. We need to address this because it is not fair that people are missing out on this awesome opportunity because people are not respecting other people and their emotions.

 

I propose we ask people how they are, saying hello, giving out random compliments, include people into conversation or invite people onto your table if you notice them by themselves. As the KYM mission statement says, the purpose of KYM is to encourage respect, ambition and determination in young mums through education and support.

 

Kurnai Young Mums is a community of passionate parents striving to optimise their life opportunities and those of their children. Without the kindness and support of the other students this can become impossible.

 

I thank you for your time to read this letter and would be greatfull if everyone took something from this and put it into action.

Letter to guest speaker

Dear Barb.

I am a student of the KYM (Kurnai Young Mums) program. We are a group of young mums and pregnant mums that are striving to make a better future for ourselves and our families.

I am writing to ask if you could please be guest speaker at the KYM program to talk to us about topics such as healthy eating, nutrition, food and sleep, and routine.

We ask that the talk goes for approximately 15-30 minutes including question time.

We really value your expertise on developing our program

I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience.

Yours sincerely,

Amielle Tarasinski

Tour of the GEP

Today we went to the Churchill campus of school called the GEP, don't ask me what it stands for cause I have no idea.

While we were there we had the documentary crew there filming us again. I can not wait until it's finished and we get to watch it. 

After our tour we made our group lunch in the home economics room. We made spring roll things, sushi look-a-like sandwiches, and rolls. The sushi look-a-like sandwiches were the best! And we're beautifully presented. The documentary crew was filming us cooking and eating :)

After we had eaten our lunch we went to the computer room to do an online career selector. I enjoyed doing that, it told me something different to what I want to do but in majority was correct. 

On the way back to Moe we were all a little tired and were not as talkative, I'm bushed and would love to crawl into bed and sleep the whole weekend away! 

Will post photos of our food ASAP!
