Christmas Concert

Our Christmas Concert is Wednesday, December 7^th at 7:00 pm. Students should be in the classroom between 6:45 and 6:50.

Children are to dress in whatever you would like them to wear. Girls, this is a chance to wear that pretty Christmas dress. As well, I would like each girl to have some silver or gold garland put in their hair (to be done at home before the concert). I will send home a piece for you to use, but feel free to use something else if you prefer. Also, I suggest boys not wear a Christmas sweater as it tends to get very warm in the classroom and on stage.

We have several activities planned for December which I could use parent help with. I will send home details tomorrow.

We have Buddies in Grade Three!

We met our Grade Three Buddies on Wednesday.

It was fun to read with them!

It's nice to get to know other students.

We can learn from each other.

Kady's Butterfly

Kadence brought in a butterfly. She told us a lot about the life cycle and had a great question: How many eggs does a butterfly lay? We did a little research and learned

According to Dr. Karen Oberhauser who has studied the female Monarch Butterfly the average female lays about 700, laying one at a time, but this varies year to year due to climate.

Remembrance Day

Students attended our Remembrance Day Service held in the gymnasium on Thursday. Thank you to Brandon S. for bringing in pictures and medals to share to help bring something personal and tangible to the student's experience.

We created some sunset scenes with crosses to commemorate Remembrance Day.
