After morning caroling and editing our message, it was a bit of a Christmas workshop in our classroom today! In the morning the students continued working on their beautiful art pieces (which shall still remain a mostly secret surprise). They wrote drafts for their cards before lunch, and in the "crafternoon" they decorated them masterfully! In French the students had cahier time reviewing colours. Friendly reminder -- fun lunch tomorrow!
Mail Pockets
- No new mail went home today
Please and Thank You / Volunteer Opportunities
- We would love to have morning reading volunteers to share books with students one-on-one, from 8:30-9:00 any day that it works for you!
Traditions
Please feel free to bring an artifact (including photos) to share a seasonal family tradition that is special to you for the rest of the week if you have not yet shared. It can be related to a holiday, or just winter in general. Part of our social studies curriculum is understanding and appreciating traditions from our own and other families and communities.
Seasonal Celebrations
- Holiday Headgear spirit day is Thursday, December 17th. Feel free to wear your favourite holiday or winter hat/hair decoration!
- Whole school Christmas caroling will take place next week. If you would prefer your child not partake, please let me know so I can make an alternate arrangement for them at these times. I will update the blog with caroling times once confirmed, if families want to come join.
