Only 1 more day!!!!!

It's coming, it's coming!!!! Only 1 more day until Winter Break!!!! It has been a full and busy week. We are all ready for a little break! Having indoor recess and lunch time has not been too fun. We need our fresh air and playtime outside! We hope that the temperature warms up so that we can all get outside!!!

Tomorrow is our Pillars of Care Assembly at 8:15am! Some of you received an email letting you know if your child is receiving an award. Please look for that email. We would love to have you come to the assembly!

Tomorrow is early dismissal. Students are out at 11am!

Please make sure your child has returned their library book before the break!

Teachers were learning today!

Today we had a few different teachers in our classroom so our teachers could go learn from other teachers and other teachers could learn from our teachers! Mrs. Nelson taught a Science lesson on seasons and Ms. G taught a lesson in Math on graphing. We will continue to learn about these topics this week and in the new year.
There will be many opportunities for our teachers to observe other teachers and to have other teachers observe our classroom.

We are finished our phonic sounds and are beginning to work more specifically on words and other areas that we are individually in need of.

Today some students received sheets for home practice. These do not need to be returned to school. Just practice with them at home. If your child has not received one yet, don't worry, it will come soon. They are to help your child with one goal they are working on that was discussed at our last Parent Teacher Meeting.

If you have yet to meet with your child's teacher, please make an appointment as soon as possible by email them.

We still had indoor recess and lunch today. The windchill keeps it too cold for us to go outside! We have all our fingers and toes and arms and legs crossed that tomorrow is warmer and we can get some much needed fresh air!

Quick Post

We had a whirlwind of a day! Please see the letter that came home with your child today. There was also a voice message delivered about our Fire/Evacuation to St. Bede School.

We are still trying to work hard this week and do some great learning. We know break is almost here and we can sometimes get very excited for that. Please remember to listen in class and do your work without too much chatting.

Carolling will be held in the Gym Tuesday 1:30-2pm and Thursday 9:30-10am. Please join us if you can.

We will also have a Pillars of Care Assembly on Friday morning. Please look for an email in the coming days to see if your child will be a recipient this month.

We exchanged our Home Reading today. Please look for the folder in your child's bag and sit with them to go through their book. Each child is working hard at reading their own level. If you haven't seen the Reading folder in a while your child may have a book at home that belongs at school. Please help them find it as we lose valuable books when they are not returned!

This afternoon we worked with primary colour paint and noticed what happened as we mixed the colours carefully. Ask your child what happened as they mixed 2 primary colours together.

 The concert info is as follows:

December 7th
- Grade 1
- Grade 2
- Grade 3

December 8th
- Kindergarten
- Grade 4

Important Homework!!!

Students received homework today. We need each child to complete the green sheet they received with a parent or guardian. For the phone number, please include the most important phone number for your child to memorize. They will also be working on memorizing their address. Please return the form by Wednesday, December 7th so that we can use it in our daily work. 

We have our Christmas Concert on Wednesday!!!! Doors open at 6pm and students should be here by 6:15 for the concert to start at 6:30. Seating in the gym is First Come First Serve. Your child knows the way to their classroom, so you can let them go and find your seats in the gym.

We encourage you to stay for the whole concert as it causes the least disruption to the concert and you will be able to see what else is happening in the school. Your child will be supervised by their classroom teacher until the end of the concert. They will be ready for pick up at 7:30. Thank you!

Today we learned the blend ue . Help your child find words that have this letter blend.
