I feel we are ready to welcome December as our Christmas Concert is this coming Wednesday and the preparations have put us in the Christmas spirit.
Some parents have asked me about what the children should wear for concert night. 1T is singing a song about snowflakes. Likely you have heard your child singing it at home. Please dress your child in anything you would like. I suggest not an overly warm sweater as it tends to get quite warm in the classroom and the gym. The Concert starts at 7:00 pm. Please bring your child to the classroom at 6:45. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to call or email me.

Operation Christmas Child
Dear Parents:
Gift filled shoe boxes are sent to
children around the world in 3rd world countries by an organization
called “Samaritan’s Purse”. Our
classroom is participating in the “Operation Christmas Child project this year.
We will be putting together two or three shoe boxes to send
for children from ages 5 to 9. We would
like to ask your help in doing this. If
you are able to provide one or more of the following items, please send it to
school with your child as soon as possible. As well, there is a minimum $7.00
fee for shipping, so if you could contribute something toward that it would be
appreciated.
Suggested gifts are:
Toys: small cars, balls,
dolls, stuffed animals, kazoos, harmonicas, yo-yos, jump ropes, small etch a
sketch, slinky, etc.
School Supplies: pens,
pencils and sharpener, crayons or pencil crayons, colouring books, writing pads
or paper, solar calculators, etc.
Hygiene Items: toothbrush,
mild bar soap (in a plastic bag), comb, washcloth, etc.
Other: hard wrapped candy,
sunglasses, ball caps, socks, T-shirts, toy jewelry, hair clips, watches, small
picture books, etc.
Please do not include any of the following: toothpaste (due to custom regulations),
liquids or items that leak, melt or freeze (these can spoil boxes), shampoo,
gels, paint, cream, lip balm, liquid glue, etc.; food (due to shipping
regulations) chewy, soft centered, crumbly or unwrapped candy, gum, Rockets,
Tootsie Rolls, etc.; used items, breakable items like glass, porcelain,
mirrors, etc.; items that can scare or harm a child like knives, war-related
toys, toy guns, etc.
The deadline to
have items to our classroom is Wednesday,
November 14 as they will be taken to a drop off point on Friday the 16th. There are extra boxes in the office if your
family would like to do this as a family project.
Thank you for helping a child.
