It’s World Teacher Day!

Hi readers,

Teachers are the best. No wonder there’s a special day dedicated to them!

Let’s celebrate World Teacher Day by letting our teachers know how much they mean to us and thanking them for all that they do.

Some kids in Ontario have a PA day today, but whether it’s today or after the Thanks Giving holiday, remember to thank your teacher!

Bye for now!

Hi readers,

Some of you will be going back to class or starting somewhere new next week, and that’s very exciting! Check out our tips to make your first day a breeze.

1. Get ready. Be sure to have everything you’ll need for your big day packed and by the door the night before. This way you won’t forget anything !
2. Show off that smile! A smile can go a long way in helping to make new friends at your new school.
3. Stay calm. It’s normal to feel shy or worried when you’re starting somewhere new. Just remember, there are other kids in your class that feel the same way!
4. Fuel up! Try and eat your all of your lunch and snacks while at school. Eating right will give you enough energy to last the day. Drink lots of water, too!
5. Safety first. Remember to always look both ways when you’re crossing the street or getting off the bus.

Have a great first day back, everyone!

Super Green School Tips

Hello readers!

On page 12 of the September issue, you’ll find this puzzle about an eco-friendly school.

Here are chickaDEE’s top 3 tips on how to help your school days be green!

1. Reuse paper.

This could mean using both sides of the paper or using scrap paper. Also make sure to recycle paper that you don’t need anymore instead of tossing it in the trash.

2. Turn off the lights.

Remind your friends to turn off the lights when there is no one left in the classroom. On bright and sunny days, ask your teacher if the lights can be turned off in the classroom.

3. Bring a litterless lunch.

Help your parents pack a lunch using only reusable containers. If not all of your containers are reusable, make sure you recycle whatever you can.

Do you have any more ideas on how to make your school a super green place? Leave a comment!

Talk to you next week!
