Christmas Concert!!!!

Wow! It's that time of year again!  Just a month until Christmas!

The grade one's are performing a song this year for the concert.  Each child needs:

-one pair of furry slippers!  They will not be wearing them so they can borrow whatever they need.  Animals slippers would be great but not necessary.

-one shoebox that the slippers will fit in.  Please wrap the box in Christmas wrap with the box and lid wrapped separately.  The students need to be able to take the slippers out of the box quite quickly.

- to wear PJ's or a housecoat over his/her regular clothes.

Send the slippers and box to school ASAP so we can practice with them.   Thanks!

Congratulations to Kali, Burke, Levi, Ainsley, Nadia, and Morgan for all achieving 100% on Unit #3's test yesterday!  Great work!

This and That!

I have been very neglectful with the blog!  Been so busy with report cards I haven't thought much about it! I'll do better!

Yesterday I attended an English Language Arts inservice in St. Walburg.  I hear from Ms. Parker, the guest teacher, that the students were very helpful!  lol!

I'd like to commend the grade one's on their attentiveness during the Remembrance Day ceremony.  They were very patient and respectful and I was very proud of them!

Thank you again for your generosity with the Operation Christmas Child boxes.  I've been trying to deliver them but the church has been closed.  I'll try again after school today!  We ended up sending 10 boxes!

Finally, report cards will be sent out on Friday.  The scale is a little different this year and the Math Outcomes are on a separate sheet of paper.  Please read through the report card carefully.   What I am most concerned about for this term and next term is PROGRESS!  The students need to be making consistent, steady progress at grade level or approaching grade level.  The areas that are of most concern will be areas where your child may be Experiencing Difficulty.  Those are the areas that I have addressed in the report and will be discussing with you at Interviews.  I will also have some samples of work to show you at that time.  Of course, you can certainly call me prior to your interview if you wish.

Have a great week!  Please make sure the children have ski pants, toque and mitts!  Winter has arrived!

Health Class - Food Flyers

Mrs. Hunter is teaching Proper Nutrition in Health class.  The students' have been analyzing their lunches!!!  Yikes!  Not surprisingly, a lot of candy after Halloween! 
Mrs. Hunter would like the students to bring food flyers from Sobey's, Co-op, Safeway etc for the Nutrition unit.  Please send them as soon as possible.
Thanks!

Reminder for Operation Christmas Child, Winter clothing, report card testing, etc

1.  Operation Christmas Child is finishing tomorrow.  Please send an items by tomorrow please.  If you are packing a complete box remember to add $7 for shipping or you can donate directly online to Samaritian's Purse.  Please let me know if you donated online.  Thank you very much for your generosity!

2.  Winter clothing - sadly, after an amazing fall, it is getting colder.  The students have been actually very well dressed.  Please check to make sure that they have a coat they can zip up themselves.  Dig out the mitts, toques and boots!  They are very eager for it to snow!!!!!

3.  Report Cards - I have been evaluating the students for report cards this week and into next week for those who have been absent.  I gave the Sight Word tests today.  Some of you will notice that I tested your child on the next level of words even though he/she didn't study them.  This was for the report cards.

4.  Spelling test on Monday!  The words for Unit #2 are on a previous blog.
