Hello Cambridge families, did you know sometimes the worried feelings we have inside give us stomach aches and headaches?
We've had a lot of changes in the last couple of weeks. These changes can makes us worry.
When will we go back to school? Will I ever see my friends again? I miss my teacher.
When you have these feelings, make sure to share them with someone you trust.
Watch a stream of water, pretend each floating leaf is a worried or sad thought. Watch the leaves drift softly away along with your worried and sad feelings.
We will be back in school with our teachers and friends before we know it.
In the meantime stay safe and healthy.
I miss you too.

When we talk, cough, sneeze or exhale, facial coverings decrease the amount of infectious droplets that enter the air from our mouths and noses. I wear a mask to protect you. You wear a mask to protect me. Now, there is growing evidence that masks also provide protection for the wearer. In fact, studies show that some people who were infected with COVID-19 are still alive today because they wore a mask. So how are masks making a difference? They let significantly fewer v...

Nurse Reed reads Gregory the Terrible Eater

Good morning Cambridge Families, As you know, one of my favorite topics is how to stay healthy. I'm sure we would all agree that eating healthy food is a very important way to stay healthy. Have you ever noticed that sometimes we don't like a healthy food the first time we try it? Well, did you know you have to try a new food 10 times before your tastebuds can decide whether they really like the food or not? Gregory the Terrible Eater is the story of a goat who eventually learns to like the flavor of cans, boots and newspapers, those foods goats normally like, only by trying them over and over again. Maybe you can try to eat a new healthy food this week? Gregory the Terrible Eater
