December 16th

What a fun week we have had in Div. 7!  Concert, Christmas crafts, skating with our big buddies, hallway reading, Christmas math games ...

Thanks to all parents who were able to drive and help out with skating and for those that sent in treats for our classroom celebration!

Over the holidays if you have a chance to watch this video of how candy canes are made, look at the candy cane experiment pamphlet and do any further candy cane experiment I am sure your child would really enjoy them.  The link is this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BF2o6KaDhIQ

We also have some Reindeer math games in their Poetry, Chants and More book that would be fun to play over the holidays.

Merry Christmas to everyone - hope your holidays are filled with fun, family and adventures.
See you in 2017!

December 2

It's been a fun but busy week switching from our bat unit to Christmas!  As you can see from our Bat Day post the students had a variety of activities they enjoyed that highlighted everything they now know about bats!

The skating notice for Thursday, December 15th (pm) has gone out on the portal.  Please complete this as soon as possible as we do need parent drivers.  

Christmas concert tickets went home today with those people who had requested them.  As outlined on the portal, tickets are free but everyone does require a ticket to see the concerts.  All students need to be at all the performances (including the Tuesday evening even if you are not attending that night).  We are asking for children to be at school at 6:00.  If you have any questions about tickets please contact me in person or by email.  

I will be sending report cards home next week.  These are your copies to keep.

Thanks to those of you that have sent in the $10 for memory book, if you haven't please send it in as soon as possible.  We are also collecting $1.00 for our hippo ears for the Christmas concert so please also send that in too.  Thanks so much.  

Tuesday is the last day to send in your gifts or donations for the Christmas Hamper!  December is always so busy but it is so nice to be able to help those less fortunate.

If anyone has old CDs (with limited writing) Div 7 & 8 would love them for a craft!

Our Christmas celebration will be on Friday, December 16th in the afternoon.  I will post those students who signed up to provide our snacks and goodies next week.
