I was so very proud of the Grade One class! They sung loud and clear and really rose to the occasion! I hope you enjoyed it!
Watching the little playschool and Kindergarten class sure makes you realize how very quickly the children are growing! Remember during this busy season to enjoy the bright faces, the innocent belief in the magic of Christmas and the pure happiness that small children bring! So quickly they are grown...
We will be making some Christmas crafts (and gifts!) and enjoying a quiet lead up to Wednesday. Wednesday morning we will probably just enjoy a movie with another class or two, some snacks and tidy up. In the afternoon, we will participate in activities with the rest of the school organized by the SRC.

CHRISTMAS CONCERT!!!!!
We are very excited about the concert tonight!!!!
The students need to be in the classroom between 6:30 and 6:45 as we have some organizing to do before the concert. Students are not to go down to the gym. I will bring them down as a class.
The students will sit at the front of the gym during the concert and can not sit with parents as they need to come on the stage for the finale.
Next week:
We will not be having a party really but would enjoy some snacks on Wednesday morning. The girls brought for Halloween so the boys can bring for Christmas.
Fruit or veggies – Burke and Levi
Cake/cookies – Joe, Blake, Tazan
Juice(2 litres each) – Warren, Logan
Of course, if anyone that wants to bring something special, please do.
See everyone tonight!

Christmas!
1. Christmas Concert - please make sure wrapped boxes and slippers are here on Monday! Also, remember that the students need to wear pj's or a housecoat for the concert as well. They can just wear over clothes.
On the night of the concert, the Grade One's need to be in our classroom by 6:45. Parents can drop them off and then go to the gym. The grade one's will sit at the front for the rest of the concert (as far as I know now).
2. Christmas crafts - breaking with my tradition of over 25 years we will not do a craft morning! Instead, we are going to work on some different crafts over the next week and a half. On the last afternoon of school, the SRC is setting up activities for us and we will have an activity in our own classroom for the morning.
3. Christmas gifts - to offset the cost of gifts to parents (pretend you don't know about them!) please send $2.00 for supplies. Thanks!

Update for the Week of December 5-9
First, Congratulations to: Kali, Levi, Ainsley, Brooklyn, Nadia, and Morgan for 100% on Unit #6 spelling test! Many received 1 wrong so remember to practice the bonus word!
Sick Students - we have had many very sick students at school. If your child still has a persistent cough, consider keeping him or her at home a little longer. I can send missed work home if requested.
Unit #7 words are:
1. his
2. dig
3. pat
4. sun
5. put
6. tree
Watch 'b' and 'd' in this test!
Christmas Concert - we've been practicing daily. If your child doesn't have his or her slippers, please get them to us this week. The box needs to be Christmas gift wrapped with a separate, wrapped lid.
Money - Please, do not send money to school unless it is in an envelope with the recipient's name on it. I will not be responsible or accountable for money sent to school! I do not mind acting as a courier between families but money can go missing far too easily that way! That includes money sent in the agenda - it falls out of the pouch easily. Thank you!

Healthy Eating with Mrs. Hunter!
Mrs. Hunter has been teaching a unit in Healthy Eating to the Grade Ones. They have been analyzing their own lunches for healthy eating choices. Today there is a green sheet in your child's lunch kit. Please discuss how to make your child's lunch healthier with them. A great opportunity to discuss healthy food options that your child likes to eat. Also, an opportunity for your child to start helping to pack his or her own lunch!
